Re: How to create (hijacking) secure HTTP sessions?

From: Adam Tuliper (amtgecko-software.com)

Beginning with ie5, ssl session id is renegotiated every two minutes during
the same session.
Http session ids based on this method would no longer remain valid then.
In addition, I dont believe this field is readily available to most web
developers, at least on the ms platform.

>> * Block all session ID usings, that do'nt match IP and SSL session ID
>> * Set HTTP session timeout
>> * Expire HTTP session after logout

>> Is that all? Is there any mechanism, that isn't a good idea?
