How do you start OWASP Juice Shop after installation?
To start OWASP Juice Shop after installation, you need to follow a series of steps. First, ensure that you have successfully installed the necessary dependencies and have a compatible system to run the application. Once these requirements are met, you can proceed with starting OWASP Juice Shop.
1. Open a terminal or command prompt window on your system.
2. Navigate to the directory where you have installed OWASP Juice Shop. This is typically the root directory of the application.
3. Execute the command to start the OWASP Juice Shop server. The command may vary depending on your operating system and the method you used to install Juice Shop. Here are some examples for different scenarios:
– If you installed Juice Shop using npm (Node Package Manager), run the following command:
npm start
– If you are using Docker, you can start Juice Shop with the following command:
docker-compose up
– If you installed Juice Shop using the pre-built distribution, navigate to the extracted directory and run the appropriate executable file. For example, on Windows, you can double-click on the `juice-shop.exe` file.
4. After executing the start command, the OWASP Juice Shop server will begin initializing. You may see some console output indicating the progress of the startup process. Wait for the server to finish initializing.
5. Once the server has started successfully, you will see a message indicating that the server is listening on a specific port. By default, Juice Shop runs on port 3000. You can access the application by opening a web browser and navigating to `http://localhost:3000` or `http://127.0.0.1:3000`.
6. The OWASP Juice Shop web application should now be accessible, and you can begin using it for web application penetration testing and practicing web attacks. The application provides a range of intentionally vulnerable features and challenges to test and improve your security skills.
Remember to exercise caution when using OWASP Juice Shop, as it is a real-world vulnerable application. Avoid running it on a production system or exposing it to the internet without proper security measures in place.
To start OWASP Juice Shop after installation, open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the installation directory, execute the appropriate command based on your installation method, wait for the server to start, and access the application through your web browser. Enjoy practicing your web application penetration testing skills!
