In Webscarab, I notice that the entire item is compared as a whole, how do I break the JSESSION into pieces, or determine which of the entire string is random (ie. if the JSESSION uses 0000 at the beginning how do I find out which parts of the entire string are static, or not as random? I've seen some people use the SESSIONID to store information about the app (ie. append, pre-pend information with the randomness somewhere in-between) I'd be interested in any other tools (gui or non-gui) to analyse randomness of SessionIDs. On a more theoretical level, what mathematical/statistical tests should be conducted against the data. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Cenzic Security Trends Report from Cenzic Stay Ahead of the Hacker Curve!
