Top 10 Web Hacking Techniques of 2017 - Nominations Open
Summary: PortSwigger Research announced that nominations are open for the Top 10 Web Hacking Techniques of 2017, reviving an annual community selection that Jeremiah Grossman and Matt Johansen had run from 2006 until it stopped in 2015. Nominations are accepted via a Twitter post, a Reddit thread, or a form, PortSwigger excludes its own research from the top ten, and submissions from 2016 are also accepted since that year was missed.
Why it matters: The list had lapsed since 2015, and its revival depends entirely on community nominations - the organizers state outright that whether it succeeds depends on community involvement, so the curated record of web security research only exists if practitioners contribute to it.
