Name: Nikolai Kurlovich

Short Description

For me, [Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)] means [a herder who is standing in the middle of a large group of white sheep with a single completely black sheep]".

Long Description (up to 3 sentences)

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is a type of attack that forces an end user to execute unwanted actions on a web application in which they’re currently authenticated. In the picture, this user is represented by the herder, who is surrounded a multitude of standard, non-malicious web-objects, represented by the white sheep while that single black sheep represents malicious object which attempts to force a user to execute some unwanted action. I made this allusion to a common English idiom since I felt that while feels pure and harmless, while black signifies something impure and distinct from the rest.
