  • description: Here's a YouTube description for your SSRF video: In this video, I explore Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), a critical vulnerability that lets attackers weaponize your server against your own internal network. We'll build a vulnerable webhook system to demonstrate the attack, then implement multiple layers of defense including input validation, DNS rebinding protection, and dedicated proxy services. What's covered: - What is SSRF and why it matters - How webhooks become attack surfaces - Demo app with a vulnerable notifier service - Exploiting the vulnerability to access internal services - Defense strategies: validation, SafeURL, and DNS rebinding mitigation - Why IANA reserved IP ranges need to be blocked - Instance metadata endpoint attacks (169.254.169.254) - DNS rebinding attacks and time-of-check-time-of-use issues - Using dedicated proxies like Smokescreen for enterprise protection Links Screen recording software I use (affiliate): https://screen.studio/@Yy75o Demo repository: https://github.com/ChristianAlexander/vulnerable_notifier SafeURL (Elixir): https://hex.pm/packages/safeurl Stripe's Smokescreen proxy: https://github.com/stripe/smokescreen OWASP SSRF overview: https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Server_Side_Request_Forgery
