I'm curious whether the ASPSESSIONID value generated is predictable and if
so, to what extent.

What do you mean by "IIS session cookies"?  Do you mean the ASPSESSIONID
feature? And what do you mean by formed?  Are you talking about the PRNG
behind it, or how a developer can use them?

Subject: IIS session cookies


Hello webappsec,

I'm looking for information on how IIS session cookies are formed (that
is, what data they consist of or how they are encoded, etc.)  Is anyone
aware of any papers or resources on the subject?

Thanks,
