Web Application Hacking : Cookie Stealing

Cookie Stealing                                  Cookies are small datas (usually 4KB in size) that are stored in clients browser . They are usually generated at the server by the server side scripting language . After that they are sent back and stored at the client browser.They help in tracking necessary information like the time of access,username,session information,etc of the client who is logged into a particular website                                    In this tutorial I am going to show how cookies are being stolen and logged into a separate file.                                                                       CAUTION "This tutorial should be used for educational purpose only.
