The Session Hijacking strike includes the manhandle of the web session control part, which is consistently directed for a session token.
Since http correspondence uses an extensive variety of TCP affiliations, the web server needs a system to see every customer's affiliations. The most significant strategy depends on upon a token that the Web Server sends to the client program after a productive client affirmation. A session token is commonly made out of a string of variable width and it could be used as a piece of different courses, as in the URL, in the header of the http request as a treat, in various parts of the header of the http request, or yet in the body of the http arrange.

The session token could be exchanged off in different ways; the most understood are:
Obvious session token;
Session Sniffing;
Client side attacks (XSS, poisonous JavaScript Codes, Trojans, et cetera);
Example:
For the situation, as ought to be self-evident, first the attacker uses a sniffer to get a generous token session called "Session ID", then he uses the honest to goodness token session to increment unapproved access to the Web Server.
