It is built on PHP with Ratchet and utilizes MySQL as backend database. DVWS has a number of functionalities which you commonly see in every other web application, they have been implemented in web sockets which is different from a typical web application communication. It allows users to test their web sockets testing skills, tools and scripts for web socket vulnerabilities. Web socket testing can be performed using popular tools such as OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite.
