Introduction to OWASP Top 10 2021
Is it just me, or this thing is getting more and more useless? I mean, insecure design is extremely broad, as is security misconfiguration. SSRF is an impact, not a vulnerability. Yadda yadda... More generally, I think this has outlived its usefulness and we could safely do without it as an industry. Anyhow, thanks for sharing. Upvoted! More on reddit.com

Some thoughts on 2021 OWASP Top 10's Cryptographic Failures Section
I think you may be extrapolating your own bubble to represent a much larger part of the industry than it does… most companies use encryption in three places: TLS Full disk encryption Provider-managed (like AWS) encryption None of those require you to pick an IV or think about MAC. The choices have pretty much all been made for you. I think the easiest place for most companies to trip up is with user passwords and session management. If you are commonly seeing issues in industry related to the building blocks of higher level encryption, then I feel like that’s a very special sector of the industry. From my point of view, the OWASP recommendation seems focused on the right area. Your mileage may vary. I often think of this story: If You’re Typing The Letters A-E-S Into Your Code, You’re Doing It Wrong More on reddit.com

What is the latest version of the OWASP WSTG?
The current stable release is WSTG 4.2, published in 2020 and still the reference most testers cite. A 5.0 version is in active development on GitHub with restructured content and new tests, but it is not yet the stable baseline, so report against 4.2 IDs for now.

What is the difference between WSTG and the OWASP Top 10?
The OWASP Top 10 is a risk-awareness list of the ten most critical web risk categories. WSTG is the testing methodology that tells you how to find instances of those risks. You test with WSTG and report each finding against its Top 10 category plus a CVSS score.

How long does a WSTG-based web pentest take?
A focused application typically runs five to ten testing days, scaling with the number of roles, endpoints, and workflows. The access-control and business-logic categories consume most of that time because they cannot be parallelized to a tool the way an INPV fuzz can.
