Session Hijacking Scanner
Identifies weaknesses that could allow session token theft.
What is Session Hijacking?
Session hijacking tests identify weaknesses that could allow attackers to steal or forge session tokens. This includes insufficient token entropy, predictable tokens, tokens in URLs, insecure transmission, and XSS vulnerabilities that could be used to steal cookies.
Why is This Important?
A hijacked session gives attackers complete access to a user's account. They can access sensitive data, perform transactions, change passwords, and maintain access until the session expires or is invalidated.
How It Works
1. Web Crawling
Intelligent crawling discovers all endpoints, forms, parameters, and dynamic content across your web application.
2. Payload Injection
AI-powered payloads test each input vector for web vulnerabilities with context-aware attack patterns.
3. Response Analysis
Advanced analysis detects vulnerability signatures in responses, confirming exploitability with proof-of-concept.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are sessions typically hijacked?
Through XSS (stealing cookies), network sniffing (on HTTP), session prediction (weak randomness), session fixation, or malware on the user's device.
What makes a session token secure?
High entropy (128+ bits of randomness), cryptographically secure generation, HttpOnly and Secure flags, SameSite attribute, and reasonable expiration times.
How do I detect session hijacking?
Monitor for sessions used from multiple IPs/devices simultaneously, unusual activity patterns, and sudden changes in user behavior or location.
Should I bind sessions to IP addresses?
IP binding can help but causes issues for mobile users and those behind rotating proxies. Consider device fingerprinting or requiring re-authentication for sensitive actions.
