Wait, are people still not checking referrer headers? That's shocking!

I recall that using GET and POST parameters for authentication is a bad practice, but I can't remember if that directly relates to CSRF limitations.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like limiting authentication cookies could help mitigate CSRF, but I'm not entirely sure if that's a limitation.

I think option B makes sense because if a site checks the referrer header, it can block CSRF attacks.

I remember that CSRF attacks rely on the user's session, but I'm not sure if the attacker needs to know all the form inputs.

This CSRF question seems straightforward. The limitations are about the attacker's ability to manipulate the request and the target site's defenses. I'm feeling confident I can nail this one.

Alright, I think I've got a handle on this. The limitations have to do with the attacker's ability to control the form inputs and the target site's security measures. Time to select the right answers.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know CSRF is about forging requests, but I'm not sure exactly what the limitations are. Guess I'll have to think it through.

Okay, let's see. I know CSRF attacks try to trick the user into performing actions they didn't intend. The key is figuring out what the limitations are.

All these options sound like a lot of work for the attacker. Guess they gotta be real determined to pull off a CSRF attack these days.

Authenticating in GET and POST parameters, not just cookies? That's a sneaky one. Guess they're trying to make it harder for the hackers to spoof the requests.
