With lots of curious readers asking me how to practice hacking and from where to start,Damn Vulnerable Web App 
(DVWA) is great application to plunge yourself in.DVWA is a PHP/MySQL web application that is damn vulnerable..literally. Its main goals are to be light weight, easy to use and full of vulnerabilities to exploit and it successfully achieves those :P . And frankly it can be used to learn or teach the art of web application security. The DVWA is bundled with the following type of vulnerabilities-
- SQL Injection
- XSS (Cross Site Scripting)
- LFI (Local File Inclusion)
- RFI (Remote File Inclusion)
- Command Execution
- Upload Script
- Login Brute Force
(Shamelessly ripped off from official statement :P )
It should come as no shock..but this application is damn vulnerable! Do not upload it to your hosting provider's public html folder or any working web server as it will be hacked. It's recommend that you download and install XAMP onto a local machine inside your LAN which is used solely for testing.
You can download DVWA 1.0.4 here:
