# Spring Security CSRF Demo

This project demonstrates how to integrate CSRF protection in a Spring Boot application using Spring Security.

## Overview

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is a type of attack that tricks the user's browser into performing an unwanted action on a trusted site where the user is authenticated. Spring Security provides built-in support for CSRF protection to mitigate such attacks.

In this demo, we'll showcase how to configure and use CSRF protection in a Spring Boot application.

## Features

- Integration of Spring Security with CSRF protection

- Customization of CSRF token handling and behavior

- Demonstration of how to secure endpoints against CSRF attacks

## Project Structure

- `src/main/java`: Contains the Java source code for the Spring Boot application.

- `src/main/resources`: Contains configuration files and static resources.

- `pom.xml`: Maven project configuration file.

## Usage

1. Clone the repository:

```bash

git clone https://github.com/iammahesh123/spring-security-CSRF-demo.git

```

2. Navigate to the project directory:

 ```bash

  cd spring-security-csrf-demo

 ```

3. Build the project using Maven:

 ```bash

mvn clean package

 ```

4. Run the application:

```bash

mvn run

 ```

5. Access the application in your web browser: http://localhost:8080

6. Try accessing protected endpoints and observe how CSRF protection works.

## Configuration

- application.properties: Contains application-specific configurations.

- SecurityConfig.java: Spring Security configuration class where CSRF protection is enabled and customized.

## Dependencies

- Java 8 or higher

- Spring Boot

- Spring Security
