Assessing Session Management Mechanisms

This chapter covers techniques used to bypass and assess session management schemes. Session management schemes are used by applications to keep track of user activity, usually by means of session tokens. Web assessments of session management also involve determining the strength of the session tokens used and whether those tokens are properly protected. We will learn how to use Burp Suite to perform such tests.

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

  • Testing session token strength using Sequencer
  • Testing for cookie attributes
  • Testing for session fixation
  • Testing for exposed session variables
  • Testing for cross-site request forgery
