Question

how you will showcase the impact of session hijacking, session prediction, session fixation, session side jacking, cross-site scripting and illustrate some of the infamous session hijacking exploits to your prospective employer

Answer 1

Manipulating session can lead to huge disaster, session hijacking will allow hacker to read every data being transmitted from your network, it can be your credit card details, so though your session he will get an unauthorized access to the service you logged in. Session prediction can lead to successfully predicting your session id and then gaining access. session fixation can lead an attacker to trick you in using a specific session id so that he can get access to service you are accessing though that session id. Through session side jacking the attacker can sniff your network to get your session details. Through cross-site scripting the attacker can pass script to your browser through the website you are accessing which can steal your data.
