What is session

We offer many services to wireless network using Wi-Fi based pay per use model - where you have to pay to use and very expensive, but gives you high speed connectivity.

Evry user who pays a service connection. Unique MAC address of your laptop / netbook is stored in the database of service providers are paid for each user. Every time you get to pay to connect to the network, creates a session and the session ID.

Each user has a MAC address and receive no other authenticated session connectivity. So this unique link between the user and the provider of wireless connectivity is the session.

In session hijacking, it creates a false MAC address of your network interface and replace the original that we use MAC Changer utility. And the fake MAC address we use is a user who is online and has already paid to use the wireless network.

So we spoof the MAC address and allow us to identify the network with MAC address as the authorized user. This is what we call session Stealing or misappropriation.
