Introduction

This chapter covers techniques used to bypass and assess session management schemes. Session management schemes are used by applications to keep track of user activity, usually by means of session tokens. Web assessments of session management also involve determining the strength of session tokens used and whether those tokens are properly protected. We will learn how to use Burp to perform such tests.
