OWASP SamuraiWTF was created in August of 2008. Originally it was a bootable environment designed to provide web application testing tools. The goal was to mimic Backtrack (Now Kali) but focus only on the tools used during a web penetration test. The bootable ISO was hosted on Sourceforge, and updated as the team found time. Over the years this bootable ISO was retired and virtual machines became the primary distribution.
