DVAPI
One stop application to learn the ins and outs of API Security
Challenge yourself with the vulnerable DVAPI lab and hone your API Security skills multifold!
What is DVAPI?
DVAPI is a lab that provides a series of challenges and exercises related to the top 10 API security risks identified by OWASP, 2023.
These challenges are designed to test your knowledge and skills in identifying and mitigating common security vulnerabilities in API implementations.
The DVAPI application is built as a CTF application that itself is vulnerable. Learners can identify and exploit the vulnerabilities, obtain the flags and submit into the application.
Who is DVAPI for?
Anybody wishing to learn API security by actually testing out vulnerabilities can utilize DVAPI. Especially,
