Session Hijacking Packet AnalysisAdded by Papergrl
Description:
TCP session hijacking is a very dangerous attack vector because most systems are vulnerable to it, as most systems use TCP/IP as their primary communication protocol. Newer operating systems have attempted to secure themselves from session hijacking by using pseudo-random number generators to calculate the Initial Sequence Number, making it harder to guess. Any security measure in randomly generating an ISN is ineffective if the attacker is able to sniff ACK packets, as they give all the information required to perform this attack.
