OWASP Mantra – Kali Linux
People in OWASP Mantra (Open Web Application Security Project) have put together a Mozilla Firefox mod with plenty of add-ons aimed at helping penetration testers and developers to test web applications for bugs or security flaws.
In this recipe, we will install OWASP-Mantra in our Kali Linux, run it for the first time, and see some of its features.

OWASP Mantra
OWASP Mantra was first launched in ClubHACK 2010. At one point in time, we made it to official repositories of two major pen-testing distributions – BackTrack and Matriux. There were thrilling moments when we go to conferences and people say ‘we love OWASP Mantra’. Sometimes, we will be watching a PoC video or tutorial and there we spot Mantra and that used to take us to heavens. We would like to say thanks to all of you for using Mantra, for spreading the word, for all the support and motivation you gave us.
All good thing comes to an end. OWASP Mantra will no longer be actively developed or updated.
As a good-bye gift, we are in the process of putting together a document that would outline ‘how you can build your own Mantra’. It would be a step-by-step document for making a browser-for-penetration-testing.
