Re: Session / Security

I'm no expert on the subject, but I think session can be hijacked by :
* 'stealing' a sessions id from the url. This is only possible if the user browser doesn't use cookies so the session id is visible in the url
* stealing a session cookie

In either cases, logging the user's ip would increase security imho.

I'm interested in other opinions :)

Not quite sure how this works but how does one steal a session?

 

I have my session info stored in the database... if i added ip to the session so it also checks that the session ip matches the user ip would that increase the session sucurity? What a safe guards / good practsise to secure session data?
