1. Cookie Stealing Attack
Here we will use virtnet to perform the cookie stealing attack. To perform cooking
stealing attack by following the below steps.
• Create topology 7 in virtnet
• Add a new normal student user
• Add a new malicious student user
• Test the existing users.
• Capture the cookies by using tcpdump.
• For capturing the packet with the help of malicious student user, perform Masquerade
attack.
• To masquerade as a normal student user, cookie stealing attack must be performed.
• Normal users’ password is captured and recorded.
• On node 3, the packet is captured.
The captured packets are attached below (Huang, 2014).
