OWASP OWTF was initially conceived and started from August 2011 by Abraham Aranguren, as a personal project. The project was first presented publicly at the BerlinSides conference in December 2011 and was released, as an open source project, one week later in January 2012. It was named as OWTF then became OWASP OWTF after being accepted as an OWASP project in August 2012.
