#security #aws #webdev #tutorial

Paige Thompson was accused of breaking into a Capital One server and gaining access to 140,000 Social Security numbers, 1 million Canadian Social Insurance numbers and 80,000 bank account numbers.

Paige had exploited a Server Side Request Forgery vulnerability (SSRF) to invoke the AWS meta-data endpoint and subsequently steal authentication tokens to gain access to Capital One's internal network.

The following interactive tutorial is a reconstruction of this data breach incident that exposed the records of almost 106 million customers, how Paige exploited this vulnerability and steps developers can take to mitigate against SSRF vulnerabilities.
