Web request forgery - SSRF, CSRF and clickjacking
Jim Manico
Wednesday June 15, 11:00 - 12:30
Short description
The web is full of request forgery attacks, such as CSRF, SSRF, and Clickjacking. In this session, we provide actionable guidance on mitigating these issues in modern applications.
Abstract
The web is full of request forgery attacks! Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), allows an attacker to trick a user into submitting a transaction they never intended to. Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) tricks your servers into making additional requests they never intended to. Clickjacking is a way to trick users into taking action and entering data into one site while another is collecting those events.
This technical session discusses the issues behind these attacks, and investigates a wide range of defensive strategies, such as nonce tokens, SameSite cookies, and the double-submit cookie pattern.
Key takeaway
Learn how to prevent forgery attacks such as CSRF, SSRF, and Clickjacking

Getting API authorization right
One-day workshop by Philippe De Ryck
Building secure APIs and microservices is hard, really hard. This workshop provides API developers with the necessary knowledge to assess and improve the security of their APIs. This workshop consists of a mixture of lectures, demos, interactive quizzes, and hands-on labs.
In this workshop, we explore common authorization failures in APIs and various defensive strategies, along with their trade-offs and pitfalls. We dive deep into API-specific topics, such as handling JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) and dealing with OAuth 2.0 access tokens. You will walk away with an actionable set of best practices.
