More like, "real life", meaning they are written *like* programs
intended for actual use, but are used for security benchmarking instead.
As in, nobody would ever deploy a "real" webapp that looked like webgoat
(which is a poor benchmarking tool as well).
I haven't looked at the apps yet, but surely a disclaimer says something
to the effect of, "you're a complete moron if you deploy these apps for
use in a production environment."
