Webhooks are a pillar of modern application development. They notify us of that new commit, an incoming text message, our email was delivered, and a payment was processed. Our systems can’t function without webhooks sending data seamlessly and securely across the internet. But what happens if they’re not secure? What happens if your webhooks are intercepted, manipulated, or even replayed against your systems? What are the best ways - as both a provider and consumer - to protect our systems? In this session, we’ll delve into the 100+ implementations we explored to build webhooks.fyi to identify the best and worst patterns to protect our systems now and in the future.

Great demo, HTTPS or death!

Really informative and a call to action for us as developers to make sure that we are securing ourselves as much as possible with the tools that are available.

Good talk, very informative and good learning opportunity!

I was expecting a little more evil, but instead Dr. Danger decided to give everyone useful information and a fun activity.

Danger's talks are great - strong energy, good pacing, relevant and not boring.

Very good insight into a somewhat challenging process to control.

Very informative and energetic. Great points on a complex topic. Webhooks are just a different query language to your database.
