    David Endler and Michael Sutton did a presentation on bruteforcing session
    IDs at DEFCON last year. Links to the presentation, the "iDefense Session
    Auditor tool", and a video of the talk are all available at:

    >Hi all,
    >
    >I have tried a lot to find any Proof of Concept Tool on Web Application
    >Security but still I am not able to find a single one. Let me give some
    >specific details.
    >
    >Session ID
    >Generally session ID is big enough and act as authentication
    >token. Most of
    >the time it only changes last few digits, lets say only three
    >digits from
    >the end. Even its doing this only its very tuff to guess these
    >last three
    >digits. I have made a testing site and tried but was not able
    >to do that. I
    >knew session ID is not the only authentication parameter. It
    >can contain
    >cookie, session tokens etc as well. I have tried Achilles, Web
    >Sleuth, Web
    >Inspect, Spike Proxy etc. I think at least they don't do such
    >brute force.
    >Is there any tool which does brute force on this and give session ID.
    >
    >Cookie Manipulation
    >Several Articles talk about Cookie Manipulation. How to get cookies of
    >others even in a LAN seems very tuff or not possible as per my
    >study on Web.
    >If a Attacker is able to redirect other person's traffic to
    >any Proxy like
    >Achilles, Web Sleuth than he can perform attacks. Now nobody
    >is allowing to
    >change his proxy setting and sending his output through
    >Attacker (Proxy).
    >Is there any tool which can give access/manipulate the cookie remotely?
    >
    >This manipulation can also be achieved if an Attacker can put
    >his Proxy (Web
    >Sleuth) on intermediate Router/Proxy. One Example is I am
    >accessing Hotmail
    >and on my ISP Router/Proxy, An attacker installs tool like Web
    >Sleuth. But
    >again question comes Router works on OSI layer 3 so attacker
    >can't put tool
    >like Web Sleuth. If intermediate hop is Proxy which is on
    >Application level,
    >there should be some tool which can be placed here.
    >
    >XSS
    >Cross Site Scripting has to use Client site scripting only.
    >What could be
    >the maximum impact of this? Can Attacker format a machine or
    >steal data by
    >this? If yes how?
    >
    >Please also tell any other Proof of Concept Tool on Web Application
    >Security. I read OWASP guides, WebGoat and some more to
    >understand three
    >things deeply and develop Proof of Concept Tool but no successes accept
    >Hidden field manipulation. Please recommend some good guides on this.
    >
    >Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
