Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks represent one of the most dangerous yet overlooked vulnerabilities in web applications. SSRF occurs when an attacker can coerce a server to make HTTP requests to arbitrary destinations on their behalf, effectively turning the server into a proxy for malicious activities. This vulnerability is particularly dangerous because it allows attackers to bypass network firewalls and access internal systems that would otherwise be unreachable from the internet. Common attack vectors include exploiting URL parameters in web applications, manipulating webhook endpoints, and abusing file upload functionalities that process remote URLs. To prevent SSRF attacks, developers should implement strict input validation, maintain allowlists of permitted domains, disable unnecessary URL schemes, and never trust user-supplied URLs without proper sanitization.

// Vulnerable code example
app.get('/fetch-url', (req, res) => {
  const url = req.query.url; // User-controlled input
  
  // DANGEROUS: No validation of the URL
  fetch(url)
    .then(response => response.text())
    .then(data => res.send(data))
    .catch(err => res.status(500).send('Error'));
});

// Attack examples:
// GET /fetch-url?url=http://localhost:8080/admin
// GET /fetch-url?url=file:///etc/passwd
// GET /fetch-url?url=http://169.254.169.254/metadata

Cliff Stoll's 'The Cuckoo's Egg' remains one of the most compelling and accessible books in cybersecurity literature, even decades after its publication. This autobiographical account of tracking down a German hacker who infiltrated U.S. computer systems in the 1980s reads like a thriller while providing invaluable insights into early computer security. Stoll's meticulous documentation of network intrusion techniques, his creative use of honeypots, and his persistence in following digital breadcrumbs across international boundaries make this book essential reading for anyone interested in cybersecurity. What sets this book apart is Stoll's ability to explain complex technical concepts in an engaging, narrative style that makes it accessible to both technical and non-technical readers. The book brilliantly captures the Wild West atmosphere of early internet security, when a 75-cent accounting discrepancy led to uncovering an international espionage ring. For modern cybersecurity professionals, it offers both historical perspective and timeless lessons about the importance of attention to detail, creative problem-solving, and the human element in security breaches.
