OWASP TOP 10: Server-side request forgery SSRF ~2023

Description

Welcome to this comprehensive course on Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). In this course, we'll take you through the ins and outs of SSRF, including what it is, why you need to learn it, the different types of SSRF, and who needs to learn it.

In this course, we'll start by introducing you to the basics of SSRF. We'll cover what SSRF is, how it works, and why it's a critical vulnerability. We'll also walk you through several real-world examples of SSRF attacks to give you a better understanding of the impact of this vulnerability.

The OWASP Top 10 provides rankings of—and remediation guidance for—the top 10 most critical web application security risks. Leveraging the extensive knowledge and experience of the OWASP's open community contributors, the report is based on a consensus among security experts from around the world.

Your instructor for this course is a seasoned security professional with years of experience identifying and mitigating SSRF vulnerabilities. They'll provide you with step-by-step guidance and practical advice to help you become an expert in SSRF.

What is Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)?

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) is a vulnerability that allows an attacker to manipulate the way a web application handles HTTP requests. This vulnerability can be exploited to perform a wide range of attacks, including but not limited to data theft, privilege escalation, and server-side code execution. SSRF is particularly dangerous because it allows attackers to bypass traditional network security controls such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems.

Why do you need to learn Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)?

As a developer or security professional, it's crucial to understand the risks associated with SSRF and how to mitigate them. By learning SSRF, you'll be able to:

• Understand how the vulnerability works

• Identify potential SSRF vulnerabilities in your applications

• Implement effective mitigations to protect against SSRF attacks

• Conduct thorough testing to ensure your applications are secure

  In short, learning SSRF will make you a better developer and security professional.

Is this course for me?

This course is designed for developers, security professionals, and anyone who is interested in web application security. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced professional, this course will provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to identify and mitigate SSRF vulnerabilities.

Types of Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF):

There are several types of SSRF vulnerabilities that you should be aware of, including:

• Basic SSRF - this involves exploiting a vulnerable web application to make HTTP requests to arbitrary external resources.

• Blind SSRF - this involves exploiting a vulnerable web application to make HTTP requests to an attacker-controlled server,       without the server revealing any information about the request.Parameter-based SSRF - this involves exploiting a vulnerable web application to make HTTP requests to arbitrary external resources by manipulating the parameters of a legitimate request.

• File-based SSRF - this involves exploiting a vulnerable web application to make HTTP requests to arbitrary external resources by manipulating the file path of a legitimate request.

Who needs to learn Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)?

SSRF is a critical vulnerability that can impact any web application that allows user input. Therefore, anyone who is involved in developing, testing, or securing web applications should learn about SSRF. This includes:

• Developers - understanding SSRF will help developers build more secure web applications by implementing appropriate controls and mitigations.

• Security professionals - understanding SSRF will help security professionals identify and mitigate SSRF vulnerabilities in web applications.

• QA testers - understanding SSRF will help QA testers identify and report SSRF vulnerabilities during the testing phase of web application development.

• System administrators - understanding SSRF will help system administrators configure network security controls to detect and prevent SSRF attacks.
