Session Hijacking
Steal or guess a session to act as another user.
About this module
Session hijacking is taking over a valid, already logged-in session so you act as that user — no password needed. This is a focused build covering the eight topics that matter most, plus a hands-on lab: what hijacking is, spoofing vs hijacking, application vs network-level attacks, XSS, session fixation, Man-in-the-Browser, TCP/IP hijacking, and how to detect and stop it.
