Frequently asked questions
How many open source owasp projects are there?
This registry tracks 4 projects tagged owasp, with 56,300 GitHub stars between them. The most-adopted is shannon at 48,105 stars.
Are these owasp projects free to use?

Which owasp project should I choose?
The list above is ranked by GitHub stars, but stars measure attention rather than fit. Check three things on each card: the licence (permissive versus copyleft), the language it is written in, and the last-push date — a high-star project that has not been pushed in a year is a liability.
Are these owasp projects still maintained?
4 of the 4 were pushed in the last 90 days, and every card shows its exact last-push date so you can see the rest. Sort your shortlist by that date before committing to a migration.
