Question 36

Which of the following can be used to perform session hijacking?

Each correct answer represents a complete solution. (Choose all that apply.)

    Correct Answer: A, C, D

    Cross-site scripting can be used to perform session hijacking by injecting malicious scripts into webpages to steal session cookies. ARP spoofing allows attackers to intercept traffic between a victim's computer and the server, capturing session information. Session sidejacking involves using packet sniffing to steal session cookies over a network, often over unsecured wireless connections. Session fixation differs as it involves setting a known session ID for the victim before they even log in, which isn't directly about hijacking an existing session.

Discussion
GQOptions: ACD

Should be ACD. Session fixation is different from session hijacking, In the session hijacking attack, the attacker attempts to steal the ID of a victim's session after the user logs in. In the session fixation attack, the attacker already has access to a valid session and tries to force the victim to use that particular session for his or her own purposes.
