Presented at DEF CON 31 (2023), Aug. 11, 2023, 2 p.m. (115 minutes)

OWASP crAPI is an intentionally vulnerable API designed to teach and demonstrate common API security flaws. It serves as a playground for security enthusiasts, developers, and penetration testers to learn about API vulnerabilities and practice exploiting them in a safe environment. This Demo Lab will showcase the use of crAPI for educational purposes, including how to set it up, identify vulnerabilities, and apply secure API development best practices.
