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…
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…
Introduction Session management is a critical aspect of web application security. When sessions are not properly managed, they can become a significant vulnerability, allowing attackers to hijack user sessions and gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. One of the most common session-related security issues is improper session timeout configuration. In this comprehensive guide, we will…
