Juice Shop OWASP, an intentionally vulnerable web application, is widely used to train web application security concepts due to its gamified structure and realistic vulnerability simulations. Root the Box, on the other hand, offers a customizable platform for CTF competitions, enabling the creation of challenges across various categories while managing scores and participant progress. Would it be possible to integrate these two platforms to create an environment that combines Juice Shop's vulnerability exploitation exercises with Root the Box's gamification and challenge management features?
Specifically, how could these platforms be integrated to design more dynamic challenges and evaluate participants' competencies in cybersecurity, covering skills such as vulnerability identification, ethical exploitation, and problem-solving? Additionally, how could the results be structured, standardized, and interpreted to provide a clear view of participants’ knowledge levels and abilities across different domains?
What is the goal? Do you want to train engineers who will use the tools to examine existing web applications for vulnerabilities, or should the tools help programmers to see the vulnerabilities in their own applications when they only pay attention to prettier, bigger, and more colorful rather than security?
Initially, my idea was to combine two tools to assess students' knowledge of cybersecurity and integrate the Item Response Theory (IRT) into the system. However, at the moment, I am exclusively focused on understanding how to implement this model specifically in Juice Shop. The goal is to use IRT to more accurately measure users' level of knowledge, adjusting the difficulty of questions and challenges based on their performance.
