PhotoStore

A buggy web application to store and share your photos

Before you start

This project is divided into two branches

• main - Cyber Security

  • finding bugs
  • patching them

• dev - Web Development

  • improvements or additions in frontend and/or backend

For Cyber Security

Once you have figured out a bug, create a POC - Proof Of Concept
You will be required to provide your POC within your Pull Request
Or else it won't be considered for evaluation and you won't be rewarded with any points whatsoever

Given that you would have to go through the code and understand how is it all working
This project may be a little harder for the beginners
No worries! During the whole event, some hints will be dropped within the respective Issue

For Web Development

Please refer to dev branch
