Cornucopia

Version 2.1 of the Secure Coding Practices quick reference guide provides the numbering system used in the Cornucopia project playing cards.

Archived project

The OWASP Secure Coding Practices Quick-reference Guide project has now been archived. The content of the Secure Coding Practices Quick-reference Guide overview and glossary has been migrated to various sections within the OWASP Developer Guide. The Secure Coding Practices Quick-reference Guide checklists have also been migrated to the Developer Guide; this provides a wider audience for the original checklist. Contact Jon Gadsden for any questions about this move.

Archived versions

The latest stable Spanish language version along with the latest English language version are still available on these OWASP project pages. There is also a work in progress English language version that shows the final work before being migrated to the OWASP Developer Guide.
