WackoPicko – Vulnerable Website For Learning & Security Tool Evaluation

Last updated: September 9, 2015 | 21,686 views

There are various vulnerable web applications out there to hone your skills or test the latest web vulnerability scanner you downloaded, one such package would be Damn Vulnerable Web App – Learn & Practise Web Hacking.

There are others such as:

Another I learned of recently is WackoPicko, it’s basically a website that contains known vulnerabilities and was first used for the paper Why Johnny Can’t Pentest: An Analysis of Black-box Web Vulnerability Scanners [PDF].

To Install From Source

Download the source package as below, then import the WackoPicko database into MySQL using a command like the following:

This will create the MySQL user WackoPicko with the password webvuln!@# as well as create the WackoPicko table. The final step is to enable read/write access to the upload directory of WackoPicko for the webserver user. An easy way to do this is:


Known Issues

  • The search bar doesn’t appear in Internet Explorer.
  • There are some onions hanging around (particularly in the upload folder) but I kept them there to preserve parity with the version used during the tests.
  • WackoPicko was developed with the assumption that is was running as the root application as the URL and won’t work running as a directory.

You can download WackoPicko here:
