Right on. In my app nothing is passed in the url all my non-private areas are like /manage/profile or /manage/account as everything related to the user is obtained by auth ID of the logged in user and getting the info based on that. So i was just wondering if someone did get the session, how would they do it and ways to prevent it. Thanks Dave

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 :) On Sat, Oct 3, 2009 at 10:08 PM, Dave Maharaj :: WidePixels.com <[email protected]> wrote: 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?
