VWA (Vulnerable Web Application) with GO

VWA is a web application developed to help the pentester and programmers to learn the vulnerabilities that often occur in web applications which is developed using golang.

How To Install VWA

Installing docker (for ubuntu 16.04)

First, in order to ensure the downloads are valid, add the GPG key for the official Docker repository to your system:

$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Add the Docker repository to APT sources:

$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

Next, update the package database with the Docker packages from the newly added repo:

$ sudo apt-get update

Finally, install Docker:

$ sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce

Docker should now be installed, the daemon started, and the process enabled to start on boot. Check that it's running:

$ sudo systemctl status docker

Output

docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Thu 2019-01-23 20:28:23 UTC; 35s ago
     Docs: https://docs.docker.com
 Main PID: 13412 (dockerd)
   CGroup: /system.slice/docker.service
           ├─13412 /usr/bin/dockerd -H fd://
           └─13421 docker-containerd --config /var/run/docker/containerd/containerd.toml

Execute docker command without sudo

Error Output when running docker without sudo:

docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?.
See 'docker run --help'.

If you want to avoid typing sudo whenever you run the docker command, add your username to the docker group:

$ sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}

To apply the new group membership, you can log out of the server and back in, or you can type the following

$ su - ${USER}

You will be prompted to enter your user's password to continue. Afterwards, you can confirm that your user is now added to the docker group by typing:

$ id -nG

Output

yourusername sudo docker

Installing Docker Compose

We'll check the current release and if necessary, update it in the command below:

$ sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.18.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Next we'll set the permissions:

$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Then we'll verify that the installation was successful by checking the version:

$ docker-compose --version

Setup Docker to Run VWA

Clone this repository

$ git clone https://github.com/xCr00tz/vwa.git
