The OWASP Cheat Sheet Series is a curated collection of concise, high-value reference documents covering application security best practices. It is maintained as a Markdown repository that builds into an official OWASP website with offline download options.
Use cases
- learn secure coding practices for web applications
- find guidance on preventing SQL injection and XSS
- reference authentication and session management best practices
- review application security checklists before a code review
- train developers on OWASP security topics
- download an offline security reference for the team
When to choose
- you need authoritative, community-reviewed application security guidance
- you want concise best-practice references rather than lengthy standards
- you need an offline or self-hosted copy of security documentation
When to avoid
- you need a runnable security tool or scanner rather than documentation
- you need vendor-specific or compliance-mapped security controls
- you need interactive tutorials or hands-on labs
