bWAPP – Bee Bug – Installation

• bWAPP, or a buggy web application, is a free and open source deliberately insecure web application.It helps security enthusiasts, developers and students to discover and to prevent web vulnerabilities.bWAPP prepares one to conduct successful penetration testing and ethical hacking projects.

•It covers all major known web bugs, including all risks from the OWASP Top 10 project.

• I will now show you how to install bWAPP two different ways. – Option 1: Windows with IIS and MySQL, with XAMPP– Option 2: Using bee-box, a custom Linux VM pre-installed with

bWAPP.

Step 1 Windows – bWAPP & XAMPP

• Download the latest version of bWAPP from SourceForge and XAMPP from apachefriends.

– http://sourceforge.net/projects/bwapp/files/bWAPP/

– https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html

• Unzip XAMPP within the C: Drive and install

• Run XAMPP to get to the control Panel– Hit Start Apache– Hit Start MySQL

• Unzip bWAPP, copy and its full contents into C:\xampp\htdocs

• Edit the file 'admin/settings.php' with your own database connection settings.

• Open the Security console XAMPP directory

• Set the the MYSQL password within the MYSQL SECTION: "ROOT" PASSWORD

• Browse to the file 'install.php' in the directory 'bWAPP'.

• Login with the default credentials, or make a new user.– default credentials: bee/bug

• Bee-box is a custom Linux VM pre-installed with bWAPP. Bee-box is a custom Linux VM (virtual machine) pre-installed with bWAPP.

• Bee-box gives you several ways to hack and deface the bWAPP website. It's also possible to hack the bee-box to get root access...

• With bee-box you have the opportunity to explore all bWAPP vulnerabilities!

• Download the latest version of bWAPP from SourceForge– http://sourceforge.net/projects/bwapp/files/bee-box/

Step 2: VMware Bee-Box and local Windows

• Unzip bee-box and double click on the bee-box – VMware virtual machine configuration this will load the config file into VMware

• From here it is ready to use, although we will be making some changes.

• Open a terminal and run ifconfig command to find the assigned

• Now that we know the bWAPP IP we will now alter the network configurations using for eth0 using the following command – sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

• My IP is 192.168.68.132, yours will be different and you will need to alter the following file similar too mine.

• Once the network configuration for Bee-Bug is complete carry out a network restart.– sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

• • The last step is too paste the following in a Windows file

explorer and choose notepad to open the hosts file. – C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

• • Enter the IP obtained within Bee-Bug – again mine was

192.168.68.132 so mines look like the following and save.

• The process is now compete and simply type itsecgames.com into the windows browser and start hacking.

• This project is part of the ITSEC GAMES project. ITSEC GAMES are a fun approach to IT security education. IT security, ethical hacking, training and fun... all mixed together.
