+== Introducing WebGoat
+
+
+---
+What is WebGoat?
+
+WebGoat is a deliberately insecure application that allows interested developers just like you to _test vulnerabilities_
+commonly found in Java-based applications that use common and popular open source components.
+
+Now, while we in no way condone causing intentional harm to any animal, goat or otherwise, we think learning everything
+you can about security vulnerabilities is essential to understanding just what happens when even a small bit of
+unintended code gets into your applications.
+
+What better way to do that than with your very own scapegoat?
+
+Feel free to do what you will with Hack. Poke, prod and if it makes you feel better, scare him until your heart’s content.
+Go ahead, and Hack the goat. We promise he likes it.
+
+Thanks for your interest!
+
+*The WebGoat Team*

== Introducing WebWolf
+NOTE: You only need WebWolf if you a lesson specifies you can use it. For a lot of lessons you use WebGoat without
+starting WebWolf.
+
WebWolf is a separate web application which simulates an attackers machine. It makes it possible for us to
make a clear distinction between what takes place on the attacked website and the actions you need to do as
an "attacker". WebWolf was introduced after a couple of workshops where we received feedback about the fact there
