  1. PASS-THE COOKIE ATTACK Threats and Defense Strategies @infosectrain

  2. www.infosectrain.com #learntorise What is Pass-the-Cookie Attack? A Pass-the-Cookie attack involves stealing a user's session cookie to impersonate them without a password. The attacker then gains unauthorized access to the user's accounts, risking data compromise. @infosectrain

  3. www.infosectrain.com #learntorise How Pass-the-Cookie Works? 01 Extracting the Session Cookie Hackers use cross-site scripting, phishing, MITM, and trojan attacks to steal user session cookies. These stolen cookies are sold on the dark web for malicious use. 02 Passing the Cookie The attacker injects the stolen session cookie into the user's web browser, creating a seemingly legitimate session to gain unauthorized access to their web application. @infosectrain

  4. www.infosectrain.com #learntorise Mitigating Pass-the-Cookie Attacks? 01 Implement Client Certificates Employ persistent user tokens with client certificates for identity verification in server connection requests. Effective for smaller user bases but challenging at scale. Add More Context to Connection Requests Add extra elements like requiring a user's IP address for web application access to enhance verification. But this approach may allow both attackers and legitimate users to share the same public space for access. 02 @infosectrain

  5. www.infosectrain.com #learntorise 03 Use Browser Fingerprinting In connection requests, use browser fingerprinting with specific browser details (version, OS, device, language, extensions). This aligns user identity with context, boosting security. 04 Leveraging Threat Detection Tools Proactive network scanning alerts for unusual activities and identifies malicious account use, thus preventing significant damage. @infosectrain
