Summary of ASP.NET Core SPA Cookie Authentication vs XSRF Attacks

00:00:00 - 00:20:00

This video covers the basics of cookie authentication and how it can be used to prevent XSRF attacks. It explains that if you are using cookies to authenticate users, you need to make sure that the cookie is set to be secure in order to prevent attackers from being able to override your session.

• 00:00:00 This video explains how cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks can occur in web applications that use cookies to authenticate users. The first attack that can potentially happen to a user is before they even log in, and the video provides examples of how an attacker can exploit this vulnerability. The video also discusses how to protect against CSRF attacks by disabling cookies and controlling which domains cookies can be sent from.
• 00:05:00 This video explains how cookie authentication can be used to prevent XSRF attacks. If you are using cookies to authenticate users, you will need to set the cookie to be secure to true to prevent attackers from overriding your session.
• 00:10:00 The video provides an overview of cookie authentication, including the difference between using custom headers and tokens, and various attacks that can be launched against a website. It concludes by discussing how Origin headers can be used to protect against these attacks.
• 00:15:00 This video explains how cookie authentication works and how an attacker can exploit it to log into a user's account. Cookie authentication is not as secure as XSRF attacks, which are a type of attack where an attacker injects malicious requests into a user's browser.
• 00:20:00 This video discusses the security implications of using cookies to authenticate against XSRF attacks. If you are using cookies to authenticate against XSRF attacks, you are protected from attacks that could steal your login credentials. If you do not have cookies set up to authenticate against XSRF attacks, you are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks that could steal your credentials.
