During workshops one of the feedback items was that in some lesson it was not clear what you controlled as an attacker and what was part of the lesson. To make this separation more distinct we created WebWolf which is completely controlled by you as the attacker and runs as a separate application.
Instead of using your own machine which would involve WebGoat being connected to your local network or internet (remember WebGoat is a vulnerable webapplication) we created WebWolf which is the the environment for you as an attacker.
At the moment WebWolf offers support for:
- Receiving e-mails
- Serving files
- Logging of incoming requests (cookies etc)
If you use the Docker image of WebGoat this application will automatically be available. Use the following URL: http://localhost:9090/WebWolf
cd WebGoat
git checkout develop
mvn clean installNow we are ready to run the project. WebGoat 8.x is using Spring-Boot.
mvn -pl webwolf spring-boot:run... you should be running WebWolf on localhost:9090/WebWolf momentarily
The web application runs on '/' and the controllers and Thymeleaf templates are hardcoded to '/WebWolf' we need to have '/' available which acts as a landing page for incoming requests.
