What are some good web server auditing tools.

Two tools for working with predictable SessionIDs are OWASP's 
WebScarab (java based) which is a web audit toolkit including an 
interception proxiy, a sitelogger, and a session editor among other 
things. This will allow you to play with any header or the sessionID. 
Another tool that may be useful (though I have not used much yet) is 
an add-on to the Mozilla Firefox browser called MagPie tools. It is 
downloaded from the firefox plug-in page. It can increment and 
decrement digits in the URL (if that is where the session ID is held) 
and some other tricks, YMMV.

There is also Achilles another interception proxy toolkit. Similar to 
WebScarab but not Java based. It is also a little more stable that 
webscarab which has been updated since I last used it extensively

I hope this helps some
