This graphic (in an online Angular course) amuses me. Of course, I know about CSRF, I've been a web developer as long as there have been web developers.

[cross-site-request-forgery-csrf]

Kas yra CSRF?

Šiuolaikiniame žiniatinklyje saugumas yra labai svarbus siekiant apsaugoti ir naudotojus, ir programas. Viena iš dažnai nepastebimų, bet pavojingų interneto pažeidimų yra kryžminės svetainės užklausos klastojimas (Cross-Site Request Forgery, CSRF). Nors tai gali skambėti sudėtingai, CSRF sąvoka yra stebėtinai paprasta: ji apgaule priverčia naudotoją atlikti veiksmus, kurių jis nenumatė, dažnai jam nežinant.

Įsivaizduokite tokį scenarijų: esate prisijungę prie banko svetainės ir pasiruošę tvarkyti savo sąskaitas. Tuo tarpu kitame skirtuke apsilankote nekaltai atrodančioje svetainėje. Jums nežinant, ta svetainė slapta siunčia užklausą jūsų bankui ir perveda lėšas į užpuoliko sąskaitą. Kadangi jau esate prisijungę, bankas mano, kad užklausa yra teisėta, ir operacija įvykdoma. Tokia yra CSRF galia.

Šiame blog'e bus rašoma informaciją, kas lemia CSRF atakų galimybę, kaip jos gali būti vykdomos ir, svarbiausia, kaip galite apsaugoti savo programas, kad jos netaptų šios tylios grėsmės aukomis. Nesvarbu, ar esate kūrėjas, siekiantis apsaugoti savo svetainę, ar naudotojas, kuriam rūpi internetinis saugumas, CSRF supratimas yra labai svarbus žingsnis saugesnės patirties link.

Navigating the Risks of JavaScript in Web Development

JavaScript is the linchpin of interactive web experiences, fueling everything from form validation to video streaming. While JavaScript enriches user engagement, it also raises significant security considerations. This post examines JavaScript's potential for misuse and the best practices to mitigate these risks.

The Dual Facets of JavaScript

JavaScript’s ability to execute on the client side is a bedrock feature of dynamic web pages, empowering developers to script complex features and responsive user interfaces. Unfortunately, the same capabilities that streamline user experience can also be exploited for malicious purposes.

Potential Misuse Cases

Malicious actors can leverage JavaScript for a range of harmful activities, including:

Data Theft: Scripts can covertly transmit personal data to unauthorized parties.

Session Hijacking: Exploiting cookies or session tokens to impersonate users.

Malware Distribution: Executing scripts that install harmful software on users' devices.

Understanding misuse scenarios is the first step in fortifying web applications against such threats.

Notable Attack Vectors: XSS and CSRF

The two most prevalent JavaScript-based threats are Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). Each exploit different aspects of web application interaction with the user.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

XSS attacks involve inserting malicious scripts into otherwise benign web pages. These scripts activate when unsuspecting users interact with the web pages, leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure.

Defense Strategy:

Input Encoding: Systematically encode user-generated content before displaying it on the web, effectively defanging embedded scripts.

Use of CSP: Employ a Content Security Policy to specify legitimate sources for executable scripts and resources.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

In CSRF attacks, attackers con the victim's browser into performing unintended actions on a site where the victim is authenticated, ranging from changing a user profile to initiating financial transactions.

Defense Strategy:

Anti-CSRF Tokens: Deploy one-time tokens that must accompany each form submission, ensuring requests originate from the site's own pages.

Cookie Attributes: Set 'SameSite' attributes on cookies to limit their flow to requests originating from the site that set them.

Building Defenses into JavaScript

Deploying defensive coding practices is essential to protect against the weaponization of JavaScript. Here are tactics developers can leverage:

Input Validation and Sanitization

Vigilant validation and sanitization of user input are fundamental:

// Validate acceptable characters (e.g., alphanumeric for a username) function isValidUsername(username) { return /^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/.test(username); }

Implementing a Content Security Policy (CSP)

CSP can significantly reduce the success rate of XSS attacks:

Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' https://trusted.cdn.com;

Managing Cookie Security

Correctly setting cookie attributes can prevent CSRF:

document.cookie = "sessionToken=xyz123; Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Strict";

Enlisting Users in Their Defense

While technical defenses are critical, empowering users to protect themselves can add another layer of security:

Educate Users: Regularly inform users on the importance of browser updates, installing security extensions, and recognizing phishing attempts.

Enable Security Features: Encourage users to install Firefox and use privacy-focused Browser extensions like uBlock Origin.

Conclusion

JavaScript's agility is a double-edged sword; its seamless integration into web pages can also serve nefarious purposes. Recognizing the potential for misuse compels us to employ rigorous defensive measures. Whether through stringent input handling, careful session management, or leveraging robust browser security features, a proactive approach to JavaScript security is the greatest defense against its weaponization. As technologies advance and threats evolve, so too must our strategies for maintaining web security and user trust.

[louisbrulenaudet]

In an era where the exchange of data across the web has become ubiquitous, safeguarding the integrity and security of web applications is paramount. Among the array of vulnerabilities that can threaten the trustworthiness of these applications, Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) stands as a particularly insidious adversary. By the end of this comprehensive guid, you will possess the knowledge and tools to fortify your web applications against CSRF threats effectively.

Application Security : CSRF

Cross Site Request Forgery allows an attacker to capter or modify information from an app you are logged to by exploiting your authentication cookies.

First thing to know : use HTTP method carefully. For instance GET shoud be a safe method with no side effect. Otherwise a simple email opening or page loading can trigger the exploit of an app vulnerability

PortSwigger has a nice set of Labs to understand csrf vulnerabilities : https://portswigger.net/web-security/csrf

Use of CSRF protections in web frameworks

Based on express-csurf. I am not certain of potential vulnerabilities. The token is set in a header and the secret to validate the token in a cookie

[tumblr] api won't let me retrieve messages i've sent, even though i can clearly see [tumblr] itself calling the same api endpoint when it retrieves messages

[garfieldareyouslashsrsorslashj]

how do i... boopbeam.......

I AM SO GLAD YOU ASKED

HOW TO BOOPBEAM UNDER THE CUT

STRAP IN BOYS THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG ONE

ok so.

you need Bun. It's a JavaScript runtime for the server (your computer). It's what runs the little script I made that automates the booping. Copy-paste the little one-liner into your terminal of choice and hit enter.

2. download this file here. THIS IS THE BOOPINATOR!

3. You'll need a couple pieces of information. What you want to do is go to tumblr.com on a computer, then open up the developer tools. Usually Ctrl (or Cmd) + Shift + I (that's an eye). Head to the tab labelled Network.

4. With the network tab open, boop somebody! However you do it. Either by the boop button next to their name, or the paw icon on their profile. Boop somebody!

5. You should see a new entry in the Network tab labeled "boop". Click on it.

6. You should see a bunch of new tabs to the side. One of them will be named "Headers". Click on that if it isn't already selected.

7. Scroll down to where it says "Request Headers" (NOT RESPONSE HEADERS!) and copy THREE values into the boopinator.ts file you downloaded: • Your "Cookie". Copy that whole value into line 39; replace the bit where it says "YOUR COOKIE HERE" (and keep the quotes!) • Your "Authorization". Copy that whole value (including the "Bearer") into line 38; replace the bit that says "YOUR TOKEN HERE (starts with Bearer)" (and keep the quotes!) • Your "X-Csrf". Copy that value into line 85; replace the bit where it says "FIRST CSRF TOKEN" (and keep the quotes!).

I cannot stress this enough these three values are extremely sensitive and should not be shared ever.

8. In a terminal, navigate to the directory you downloaded boopinator.ts (usually with the cd command) Run: bun boopinator.ts and it *should* start going! Optional 9. You can replace the URLs at the top of the file with the URLs of the people you wanna boop. The script will choose between them at random every time it boops somebody, which is about once per second.

🎉 CONGRATULATIONS you have started the boopbeam! It should now run forever, assuming Tumblr doesn't cut you off. They will eventually, your cookie will expire, but that should be good for about 1000 boops. Occasionally you'll get hit with a 429 error; the script will recover from that automatically, but any other error will cause it to stop in its tracks and wait for you to restart it. An authorization error, for example, means you need to grab those three values again (see step 7).

If you have any questions, my DMs should be open? Or just reblog this post with your question and I'll clarify as much as I can.

[regexkind]

Honestly my script is pretty good at this point, the only thing I don't understand is how to get the csrf token value without manually grabbing it from the browser

[goatsgomoo]

wait how did you glitch that favourite drink post? i beseech you to share your ways—fucking about with web dev tools got me nowhere.

Using the web dev tools, look at the payload for the POST request when you create a poll, and think about what might happen if somebody decided to add a feature to a web app but didn't feel like adding input validation to the backend.

Oh, and you'll also need to pay attention to the X-CSRF header.

I believe in you! <3

Choosing the right platform for your web project can be a daunting task. Two popular options, Laravel and WordPress, cater to distinct needs and offer unique advantages. This in-depth comparison by Sohojware, a leading web development company, will help you decipher which platform reigns supreme for your specific project requirements.

Understanding Laravel

Laravel is a powerful, open-source PHP web framework designed for the rapid development of complex web applications. It enforces a clean and modular architecture, promoting code reusability and maintainability. Laravel offers a rich ecosystem of pre-built functionalities and tools, enabling developers to streamline the development process.

Here's what makes Laravel stand out:

MVC Architecture: Laravel adheres to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern, fostering a well-organized and scalable project structure.

Object-Oriented Programming: By leveraging object-oriented programming (OOP) principles, Laravel promotes code clarity and maintainability.

Built-in Features: Laravel boasts a plethora of built-in features like authentication, authorization, caching, routing, and more, expediting the development process.

Artisan CLI: Artisan, Laravel's powerful command-line interface (CLI), streamlines repetitive tasks like code generation, database migrations, and unit testing.

Here's why WordPress is a popular choice:

Ease of Use: WordPress boasts an intuitive interface, allowing users to create and manage content effortlessly, even with minimal technical expertise.

Flexibility: A vast repository of themes and plugins extends WordPress's functionality, enabling customization to suit diverse website needs.

SEO Friendliness: WordPress is inherently SEO-friendly, incorporating features that enhance your website's ranking.

Large Community: WordPress enjoys a massive and active community, providing abundant resources, tutorials, and support.

While user-friendly, WordPress might struggle to handle complex functionalities or highly customized web applications.

Choosing Between Laravel and WordPress

The optimal platform hinges on your project's specific requirements. Here's a breakdown to guide your decision:

Laravel is Ideal For:

Complex web applications require a high degree of customization.

Projects demanding powerful security features.

Applications with a large user base or intricate data structures.

Websites require a high level of performance and scalability.

WordPress is Ideal For:
