If you get cookie and use have the session still open you could use some tool to modify headers and be happy! =) You could try this tools that become life easier . Gmail had a old bug that after user logout you could use that session until 25/30 minutes later... currently it's seem to be fixed. http://erratasec.blogspot.com/2007/08/sidejacking-with-hamster_05.html Regards, Rodrigo Montoro (Sp0oKeR) On Tue, Mar 18, 2008 at 8:21 AM, 11ack3r <11ack3r@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello Everyone, I was curious to know how would webmail portals like gmail.com and yahoo.com protect their users from session hijacking when they use HTTP after authentication. As I see it is trivial to capture traffic over the wire including session cookies. In such a case can an attacker just reuse the session cookies in his/her browser and compromise the user account? WHat is the best way to protect session cookies from hijacking esp. due to network eavesdropping? Of course HTTPS can also be bypassed with MITM attacks if users ignore browser warnings. Looking forward to some knowledge here. Cheers!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Cenzic Need to secure your web apps NOW?
