Introducing FOSRES: A Free and Open Source Security Research Project

Free and Open Source Security Research (FOSRES) Hi. I am Tanveer Salim. And usually I let Claude do the talking. For the first time I am actually writing this from scratch. I would like to introduce you to the FOSRES project. A project meant to train future Security Engineers in Web/Cloud/AI Security. In this project you will be challenged to audit and fix others' code for security bugs, deploy applications in secure cloud environments (here I use AWS only for now), and be asked to apply your skills with using AI to reduce project timelines (a necessary skill you need to build now). Just to let you know I have chosen Claude Code as my official AI agent. Other AI Agents I would recommend are Mistral (most privacy friendly although worse at software engineering than Claude), or GLM-5 (not privacy-friendly at all). Below I will explain the required tech skills you want to have: Topics for FOSRES Challenges A. Web Security You want to be able to audit and fix code containing any of these v
