SamuraiWTF (“Web Training Framework”) is an OWASP project bundling web-application pentest tools — ZAP, Burp Suite Community Edition, sqlmap, ffuf, Nikto, TruffleHog — alongside deliberately vulnerable target apps (OWASP Juice Shop, DVWA, Mutillidae, crAPI, and others) for practicing against.

Use it only against the bundled training targets or systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test — see the disclaimer.

Getting started

SamuraiWTF is distributed as a prebuilt VirtualBox OVA or Hyper-V VHDX image (or built yourself via Vagrant) on Ubuntu — there's no installer ISO. Both its tools and its deliberately vulnerable target apps are managed through its own Katana package tool (`katana install <name>`, `katana list`) rather than a system package manager, and targets resolve under a local `.test` domain via a self-signed root CA.
