RE: XSS LAB DEMO IDEAS

Thanks for the ideas, guys.  I'm running into a bit of technical
trouble, though.  Perhaps you could shed some light?

I now have a "victim" web server set up that I can test XSS on, and I
have also set up an "attacker" web server that basically sits there and
eats cookies via CGI, storing them to a local directory.  The next
question may seem very rudimentary, but can you just write those to your
user's "cookie" folder and "hijack" their session to the web site?  I
know I'm missing something ::scratching my head::
