Contributing to the MAS Project

First of all, ⭐ Give us a Star in GitHub!


The MAS project is an open source effort and we welcome all kinds of contributions and feedback.

Help us improve & join our community:

Contribute with content:

  • 💡 Propose ideas or suggest improvements (MASTG/MASVS). If it qualifies we'll promote it to an Issue.
  • 📄 Create a Pull Request for concrete fixes (e.g. grammar/typos) or content already approved by the core team.

Before you start contributing, please check our pages "How Can You Contribute?" and "Getting Started". If you have any doubts please contact us.

🚫 What not to do

Although we greatly appreciate any and all contributions to the project, there are a few things that you should take into consideration:

  • No advertisement: The OWASP mobile Security Project cannot be used as a platform for advertisement of commercial tools, companies or individuals. Technical content such as the implementation of certain techniques or tests should be written with free and open-source tools in mind. Commercial tools are typically not accepted, but might be referenced in some specific cases.
  • No unnecessary self-promotion of tools or blog posts: If you have a relation with one of the URLs or tools you are referencing, please state so in the PR so that we can verify that the reference is in line with the rest of the guide.

Please be sure to take a careful look at our Code of Conduct for all the details and ask us in case of doubt.


Our Contributors

All of our contributors are listed in GitHub repos. See OWASP MASTG Authors & Co-Authors, MASTG Contributors and MASVS Contributors.

Update March 2023: We're creating a new concept for contributions that aligns with the new MASTG v2 workflows. Stay tuned...
