이 레시피 활용 시점

Services like Stripe, GitHub, and Slack sign webhook payloads with HMAC. Verifying these signatures prevents spoofed webhook attacks and ensures data integrity.

단계

1

Create the shared webhook secret

프롬프트:Generate a webhook signing secret (256-bit hex)
2

Compute the expected signature

프롬프트:Generate HMAC-SHA256 of the webhook payload using the signing secret
3

Verify by comparing signatures

프롬프트:Hash the received signature header for comparison

자주 묻는 질문

Why use HMAC for webhook verification?

HMAC ensures two things: the request came from the legitimate sender (authentication) and the payload wasn't modified in transit (integrity). Simple API keys only provide authentication.

What happens if I don't verify webhooks?

An attacker could send fake webhook events to your endpoint — triggering unauthorized actions like refunds, account changes, or data modifications.
