OWASP Juice Shop is an intentionally insecure webapp for security trainings written entirely in Javascript which encompasses the entire OWASP Top Ten and other severe security flaws.
Juice Shop is written in Node.js, Express and AngularJS. It was the first application written entirely in JavaScript listed in the OWASP VWA Directory.
The application contains over 30 challenges of varying difficulty where the user is supposed to exploit the underlying vulnerabilities. The hacking progress is tracked on a score board. Finding this score board is actually one of the (easy) challenges!
Apart from the hacker and awareness training use case, pentesting proxies or security scanners can use Juice Shop as a "guinea pig"-application to check how well their tools cope with Javascript-heavy application frontends and REST APIs.
Translating "dump" or "useless outfit" into German yields "Saftladen" which can be reverse-translated word by word into "juice shop". Hence the project name. That the initials "JS" match with those of "Javascript" was purely coincidental!
- Easy-to-install: Choose between node.js, Docker and Vagrant to run on Windows/Mac/Linux
- Self-contained: Additional dependencies are pre-packaged or will be resolved and downloaded automatically
- Self-healing: The simple SQLite database is wiped and regenerated from scratch on every server startup
- Gamification: On a Score Board the application keeps track of successfully exploited vulnerabilities
- Free and Open source: Licensed under the MIT license with no hidden costs or caveats
Feel free to have a look at the latest version of OWASP Juice Shop: https://juice-shop.herokuapp.com
This is a deployment-test and sneak-peek instance only! You are not supposed to use this instance for your own hacking endeavours! No guaranteed uptime! Guaranteed stern looks if you break it!
- Click the button below and follow the instructions
This is the quickest way to get a running instance of Juice Shop! If you have forked this repository, the deploy button will automatically pick up your fork for deployment! As long as you do not perform any DDoS attacks you are free to use any tools or scripts to hack your Juice Shop instance on Heroku!
- Install node.js
- Run
git clone https://github.com/bkimminich/juice-shop.git(or clone your own fork of the repository) - Run
npm install(only has to be done before first start or when you change the source code) - Run
npm start - Browse to http://localhost:3000
- Install Docker
- Run
docker pull bkimminich/juice-shop - Run
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 bkimminich/juice-shop - Browse to http://localhost:3000 (on OSX browse to http://192.168.99.100:3000 instead)
- Install and launch Docker Toolbox
- Search for
juice-shopand click Create to download image and run container - Click on the Open icon next to Web Preview to browse to OWASP Juice Shop
- Install a 64bit node.js on your Windows (or Linux) machine
- Download
juice-shop-<version>_<node-version>_<os>_x64.zip(or.tgz) attached to latest release - Unpack and run
npm startin unpacked folder - Browse to http://localhost:3000
Each packaged distribution includes some binaries for SQLite bound to the OS and node.js version which
npm installwas executed on.
- Setup an Amazon Linux AMI instance
- In Step 3: Configure Instance Details unfold Advanced Details and copy the script below into User Data
- In Step 6: Configure Security Group add a Rule that opens port 80 for HTTP
- Launch instance
- Browse to your instance's public DNS
#!/bin/bash
yum update -y
yum install -y docker
service docker start
docker pull bkimminich/juice-shop
docker run -d -p 80:3000 bkimminich/juice-shop
Technically Amazon could view hacking activity on any EC2 instance as an attack on their AWS infrastructure! We highly disrecommend aggressive scanning or automated brute force attacks! You have been warned!
- Install Vagrant and Virtualbox
- Run
git clone https://github.com/bkimminich/juice-shop.git(or clone your own fork of the repository) - Run
cd vagrant && vagrant up - Browse to http://juice.sh
OWASP Juice Shop officially supports the following versions of node.js and offers Docker images and packaged distributions accordingly:
| node.js | Docker images | Docker snapshots | Packaged distributions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4.x | node4 |
node4-snapshot, node4-develop |
juice-shop-<version>_node4_windows_x64.zip, juice-shop-<version>_node4_linux_x64.tgz |
| 6.x | latest, node6 |
snapshot, develop, node6-snapshot, node6-develop |
juice-shop-<version>_node6_windows_x64.zip, juice-shop-<version>_node6_linux_x64.tgz |
| 7.x | node7 |
node7-snapshot, node7-develop |
juice-shop-<version>_node7_windows_x64.zip, juice-shop-<version>_node7_linux_x64.tgz |
The stable Docker images are built from
masterwhile the snapshot images are built fromdevelopbranch. The latter contain unreleased features but cannot be considered stable.
If you need help with the application setup please check the Troubleshooting section below or post your specific problem or question in the official Gitter Chat.
- After changing to a different Node.js version it is a good idea to delete
npm_modulesand re-install all dependencies from scratch withnpm install - If you are experiencing Error 128 from some GitHub repos during
bower installexecution, rungit config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://and trynpm installagain - If using Boot2Docker (Docker inside VirtualBox on Windows) make sure that you also enable port forwarding from Host
127.0.0.1:3000to0.0.0.0:3000for TCP - If
npm installfails after an update of your local copy duringbower installcomplaining about version issues, delete/app/bower_componentsand try again to remove outdated versions that cause conflicts - If during
npm installthesqlite3no binaries can be downloaded for your system, the setup falls back to building from source withnode-gyp. Check thenode-gypinstallation instructions for additional tools you might need to install (e.g. Python 2.7, GCC, Visual C++ Build Tools etc.) - You may find it easier to find vulnerabilities using a pen test tool. I strongly recommend Zed Attack Proxy which is open source and very powerful, yet beginner friendly.
Found a bug? Crashed the app? Broken challenge? Found a vulnerability that is not on the Score Board?

We're also happy to send some stickers your way if you organize a meetup or conference talk where you use or mention OWASP Juice Shop! Just contact the project leader to discuss your plans: bjoern.kimminich@owasp.org!
PayPal donations via above button go to the OWASP Foundations and are earmarked for "Juice Shop". This is the preferred way to support the project.
