 Hacking Through Cookies


The attacker get a cookie from a web page and send to the victim a link so the victim logins using the cookie of the attacker. If the cookie is not changed when a user logs in, this could be useful because the attacker could be able to impersonate the user using the cookie.


.Can you hack with cookies?

You could become a victim of “cookie stealing” or “session hijacking.” This is when a hacker gains access to a browser and mimics users to be able to steal cookies from that browser


.Can cookies steal information?

As a necessary part of web browsing, HTTP cookies help web developers give you more personal, convenient website visits. Cookies let websites remember you, your website logins, shopping carts and more. But they can also be a treasure trove of private info for criminals to spy on.


. How anybody can steal passwords from cookies?

After hacking the session cookies, we can use stolen session cookie to login into victim's account even without providing the username and password – as I already explained, session hacking removes the authentication on the server as we have the AUTO LOGIN cookie. 


.Why do hackers want your cookies?

Because cookies contain sensitive information of the users, like credit card details, login details on different accounts, etc., hackers can earn handsome money by selling these details to cybercriminals. They can find cybercriminals easily on the dark web.


.How can cookies track you?

Cookies can track any kind of data about users, such as search and browser history, what websites they previously visited, what they googled earlier, their IP addresses, their on-site behavior such as scrolling speed, where they clicked and where their mouse hovered.


.Should you agree to cookies?

Do you HAVE to accept cookies? Most cookies are really not an issue. They are just used by the website owner so you have a better experience with the site. You can decline the “Accept Cookies” message and most websites will work just fine.


Should I delete cookies?

You definitely should not accept cookies – and delete them if you mistakenly do. Outdated cookies. If a website page has been updated, the cached data in cookies might conflict with the new site. This could give you trouble the next time you try to upload that page.

Here are some of the Forum/Website to visit on dark web related to cybersecurity and hacking. Before visiting this website please follow the steps to be safe on the dark web/ Deepweb. Security Steps to be taken before opening the links: First of All, To browse these dark web forums, first close all active programs and applications in your computer then start Your NordVPN or any Paid and HQ VPN that have TOR service and select Onion Over VPN Server.  Now start Tor Browser and disable Javascript.

 Cyber Security Audits What is Cyber Security Audit?                 A cyber audit, at its core, refers to a systematic evaluation and assessment of an organization's information systems.

This in-depth review allows for a holistic understanding of the current cybersecurity posture of the entity and helps in crafting more robust and resilient digital environments. The rationale behind conducting a cyber audit often stems from both internal and external pressures. Internally, management recognizes the intrinsic value of their digital assets, understanding th
