Damn Vulnerable RESTaurant is an open-source project that allows developers to learn to identify and fix security vulnerabilities in their code through an interactive game.
Damn Vulnerable RESTaurant is managed by a Chef who has learned that threat actors compromised his restaurant's API and system.
The challenge aims to identify and remediate vulnerabilities using the provided clues.
Participants will explore the attack methodologies and fix security flaws to protect the application.
By the conclusion of this challenge, participants will discover the attacker's identity.
Participants may also opt to assume the role of an attacker, exploiting existing vulnerabilities.
The application features numerous security weaknesses beyond those outlined in the challenge, offering multiple routes to obtain root access, starting as an unauthenticated API user.
The application uses the Python FastAPI framework to develop the restaurant's API and incorporates a PostgreSQL database.
The API and the database are containerized using Docker, allowing for fast deployment and configuration with Docker Compose.
Damn Vulnerable RESTaurant is available for free on GitHub.
