Hawk v.2.0.1 - Django-Security Testing Website 🚀!

Overview ❄️:

Welcome to Hawk v.2.0.1, a testing website built on Django that focuses on security. This web application includes login functionality, database management, and a search feature. The project aims to demonstrate various security aspects in Django and the importance of using the Django ORM for protection against common vulnerabilities.

Security Highlights 🔐:

Common Security Risks Addressed:

1. Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Protection: Django's built-in protection against CSRF attacks.
2. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Protection: Secure handling of user input to prevent XSS vulnerabilities.
3. SQL Injection Prevention: The use of Django ORM prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities.
4. Clickjacking Prevention: Protection against Clickjacking attacks.
5. SSL/HTTPS: Encrypted communication for enhanced security.

SQL Injection Example 💉:

• Vulnerability: Allows a malicious user to execute arbitrary SQL code.
• Django Security Measure: Query parameterization and the use of Django ORM to prevent SQL injection.
