Rok,

I'm guessing it depends on the cookie and what information has been stored there. Can you provide more information?

Rok,
it depends as RR already said, first of all the cookie has to be the means used for that web applications to store the user name, password at least, second you have to have access to the cookie, that is the cookies file, or the cookie in memory, third that password needs to be either in a clear text,or in a formt that is easy to decrypt.

I dont have any interest of using others' cookies.
well what I am askingis,from cookie to password,is taht possible???

suppose I have my orkut cookie which is like this

_utma=value
_utmz=value
lobo=value
orkut_state=value
osn=value
tz=value

so if we get the orkut_state(only for orkut) value we can enter in anyone's profile till the cookie get expired!!so I am just asking, is it possible to get the password and user id from cookie?Huh?take mine as example,everone has there full cookie and they can see it use it what ever they want to do with that,so from that cookie can we get the username and password?Or it's just being used for another purpose???please elaborate it while giving your answer!!


thanx!! Smiley

Rok,

we did. If you aren't getting specific answers I'm guessing no one has an in depth knowledge of Orkut (never come across it myself) or is unable/willing to provide further info.

As you are now looking at a specific target you are unlikely to get specifics from this site. If you have permission to test your thoery (access other people's session before cookie expires) then don't expect others to do your work for you.

If assistance dries up you may have hit the wall for a particular topic. Begging and bugging for assistance is not going to help

In most cases the cookies are used for preserving the session state. Therefore, it will not contain user id and password but just a session id unique to that session, unless there is a very poorly coded web app. Though, with the  cookie you can hijack a session and reset the password but I doubt you will be able to get the password.

Rok,

apologises if you think I'm giving you grief due to an unrelated issue (think I may need to step away from the keyboard).

I was merely suggesting that bumping your own topic due to a lack of response may not be advisable. From what I've seen from this site (haven't been a long-term member, possible someone of longer standing can be more exact) if people are able/willing to provide assistance they will.

Let's all step away from the keyboard for a minute. OK Rok, I am guessing you've some idea about what cookies are and that they can be used for authentication. Let's go back to basics.

A cookie is a name-value pair set by a web server when you visit a web site. Lots of web sites use this for tracking what a user does on the site. It works like this.

1) Web browser opens a web site and requests a web page
2) The page requested is returned to the browser, along with a message that it would like to set a cookie e.g. UserTracking=52485724
3) Each time the web browser sends to the web server from now on it will also send this cookie value back as well.

One very common use for cookies is authentication. Let's extend the last example.

1) A user logs into a web page with a username and password
2) The web server sends back a cookie with a unique string and remembers that this cookie value is for a user who has logged in.
3) Now when the web browser sends a request it also sends the cookie. The web server reads the cookie and checks to see if the cookie matches a logged in user.

The cookie value does not need to contain the username or password and in almost all cases it does not. Imagine going to a football game and using your credit card (username and password) to pay. You are given a ticket (a cookie) and you show this ticket to get into the game. You don't need to show your credit card to get in, the ticket is good enough.

The short answer is no, 99.9% of the time you can't take a cookie and get a username and password from it.
