A curated awesome-list of intentionally vulnerable applications, VMs, and CTF platforms for practicing security skills. It covers web exploitation, cloud security, mobile, and OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.

Use cases

  • find intentionally vulnerable apps to practice hacking
  • resources for learning web security and OWASP top 10
  • vulnerable VMs for penetration testing practice
  • CTF platforms for bug bounty training
  • practice cloud security attacks on AWS and Kubernetes
  • hands-on security labs for SQL injection and XSS

When to choose

  • you want a broad curated index of security training targets
  • you're preparing for bug bounty or pentest work and need practice environments
  • you want coverage across web, cloud, mobile, and firmware vulnerabilities

When to avoid

  • you need a single runnable vulnerable application rather than a list of links
  • you're looking for defensive security tooling or vulnerability scanners
