BUG (?): Session ID entropy and ASP.NET

    • Status: New
    • Priority: Normal (3)
    • Component: -
    I haven't yet evaluated the bit-coverage of the collected sample.
    <p>
    According to Microsoft in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479041.aspx
    <p>
    "Each active ASP.NET session is identified using a 120-bit string made only of URL-allowed characters. The session ID is generated using the Random Number Generator (RNG) cryptographic provider. The service provider returns a sequence of 15 randomly generated numbers (15 bytes x 8 bit = 120 bits). The array of random numbers is then mapped to valid URL characters and returned as a string."

    <p>
    The cookie named ASP.NET_SessionId appears to be used to track session state. Approximately 49 bits of random data were observed. A minimum of 128 is generally recommended.

    The following transactions were used for the test:
