Session Replay Attacks: How Attackers Reuse Captured Session Tokens

Session Replay Attacks: How Attackers Reuse Captured Session Tokens

Introduction In today’s digital world, web applications rely heavily on session management to maintain user authentication and state. Session tokens (or session IDs) are used to identify users after login, allowing seamless interaction without repeated authentication. However, if these tokens are intercepted or stolen, attackers can launch session replay attacks—a serious security threat where an attacker…

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Bypass – Flaws in MFA Implementation Allow Attackers to Circumvent It

Introduction Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is widely regarded as a critical security measure to protect against unauthorized access. By requiring users to provide multiple forms of verification—such as passwords, SMS codes, biometrics, or hardware tokens—MFA significantly reduces the risk of account compromise. However, MFA is not foolproof. Attackers have developed sophisticated techniques to bypass MFA, exploiting…
