Explain the OWASP concept. Write top 10 OWASP attacks with examples

OWASP Concept

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is an open-source organization dedicated to improving software security. It provides impartial, practical information on various security risks, vulnerabilities, and mitigation techniques for web applications, IoT, and cloud-based systems. OWASP creates tools, documentation, and methodologies to help developers, security professionals, and businesses safeguard their applications against cyber threats.

One of OWASP’s most well-known projects is the OWASP Top 10, which lists the most critical security risks for web applications. This list is regularly updated to reflect emerging threats and vulnerabilities affecting real-world applications.
