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.

>Thanking You.
