<!-- Start Instructions -->
Many applications will automatically log a user into their site if the right authentication cookie is specified. &nbsp; Some times the cookie values can be guessed if the algorithm for generating the cookie can be obtained. &nbsp;Some times the cookies are left on the client machine and can be stolen by exploiting another system vulnerability. &nbsp;Some times the cookies maybe intercepted using Ccross site scripting. &nbsp;This lesson tries to make the student aware of authentication cookies and presents the student with a way to defeat the cookie authentication method in this lesson.<br>
