About
Welcome to AppSec Village, where red, blue and purple teamers, come together learn from the best of the best on how to exploit software vulnerabilities and how to secure software. Software is everywhere, and Application Security vulnerabilities are lurking around every corner making the software attack surface attractive for abuse. If you are just an AppSec n00b or launch deserialization attacks for fun and profit, you will find something to tickle your interest at the AppSec Village.
Our Mission
