Project description

Latest Version Supported Python Versions Supported Implementations

requests-hardened is a library that overrides the default behaviors of the requests library, and adds new security features.

Installation

The project is available on PyPI:

pip install requests-hardened

Features

Overrides of Defaults

This library allows to override some default values from the requests library that can have a security impact:

  • Config.never_redirect = False always reject HTTP redirects

  • Config.default_timeout = (2, 10) sets the default timeout value when no value or None is passed

SSRF Filters

A SSRF IP filter can be used to reject HTTP(S) requests targeting private and loopback IP addresses.

Settings:

  • Config.ip_filter_enable whether or not to filter the IP addresses

  • ip_filter_allow_localhost whether or not to allow loopback IP addresses

Example Usage

from requests_hardened import Config, Manager

# Creates a global "manager" that can be used to create ``requests.Session``
# objects with hardening in place.
DefaultManager = Manager(
    Config(
        default_timeout=(2, 10),
        never_redirect=False,
        ip_filter_enable=True,
        ip_filter_allow_localhost=False,
    )
)

# Sends an HTTP request without re-using ``requests.Session``:
resp = DefaultManager.send_request("GET", "https://example.com")
print(resp)

# Sends HTTP requests with reusable ``requests.Session``:
with DefaultManager.get_session() as sess:
    sess.request("GET", "https://example.com")
    sess.request("POST", "https://example.com", json={"foo": "bar"})
