Sidejacking



Sidejacking is the process of stealing someone’s access to a website, typically done on wireless networks or interconnected networks like LAN etc. This process will be based on session hijacking and cookie stealing.This method is fully based on a firefox extension known as Firesheep.

There are a large number of Softwares for capturing the packet data of devices connected to same Wifi or LAN .Some examples of these soft wares are Wireshark,Ethereal etc.This Software captures the packet whenever the browser requests or send back data.However we need the cookie data, Thus we have to grab cookie information from the packets obtained carefully.
