List,
Prepare yourself for great news: Holm Security , an information
security solutions provider based in Sweden, is sponsoring the w3af
project!
The interesting news and what is coming can be found at
http://w3af.org/blog , but just in case you were wondering… here are
some FAQs:
#0 How is Holm Security sponsoring w3af?
Holm Security pays me as a Python developer. I usually work 20 to 40
hours a month for Holm Security.
#1 Why does Holm Security need your help?
Holm Security scans thousands of customer sites each day using w3af.
They identify a lot of bugs, performance issues, false positives and
receive feature requests from customers. Those issues need to be fixed
in order to provide value to their customers.
I help them fix the issues and code the new features. Holm Security
has a development team, but for some tasks it is better to outsource
it.
It could have been any Python developer, but it was more convenient to
hire the guy that wrote 90% of the w3af code ;-)
#2 How will this change the w3af project?
Holm Security's sponsorship will increase development speed and make
w3af much better. w3af project will remain open source, no change in
license, no change in how you can use it.
Holm Security and I want the same thing: make the Internet a safer
place providing free access to great open source tools.
#3 All the code you write for Holm Security makes it to the public
GitHub repository?
Yes, that is part of our agreement.
#4 How can my company sponsor w3af?
