================= requests-hardened

|pypi-latest-version| |pypi-python-versions| |pypi-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_:

.. code-block::

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
• Config.user_agent_override = None optional config to override User-Agent header. When set to None, requests library will set its default user-agent <https://github.com/psf/requests/blob/ee93fac6b2f715151f1aa9a1a06ddba9f7dcc59a/src/requests/utils.py#L886-L892>_.

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_loopback_ips whether or not to allow loopback IP addresses

Example Usage

.. code-block:: python

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_loopback_ips=False, user_agent_override=None ) )

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"})
