How does a session sidejacking exploit work?
Steals the session cookie
Bypasses SSL encryption
Steals the users session ID
Imitates the browser session
Session sidejacking is where an attacker uses packet sniffing to read network traffic between two parties to steal the session cookie. SideJacking is most common on sites that require authentication through a username and password, such as online Web mail accounts as well as social networking sites. SideJacking works only if the site uses non-SSL cookie. Thus, any Web site that uses SSL exclusively should be safe from attackers or pentesters..
