Re: [PEN-TEST] HTTP Secure Session State Management

um. PHP4 has session_start() / session_register() etc.  This creates a
spiffy little hash table called $SESSION that stores anything you want in
it.  So you can do things like this

$SESSION["login_id"] and then check and see if it's set in all your php
pages to do your session management.

Has anyone looked at network penetration using WEBDAV/NDSDAV?
Or even seen a security evaluation of WEBDAV/NDSDAV?

Also more on topic... Don't PHP4 and MS ASP have some built in
session management features?  Has anyone hacked these methods
enough to understand what they do?

Can't tell a bit about ASP but PHP(4) does not have anything regarding
session management.
