Tech question: Is it possible to read the data of cookies from other websites?
 

I don't want to edit, delete or change existing cookies, but I was wondering if it were possible to just read the data of a cookie from another site.

no, unless you use some browser exploit

I was thinking that would be the answer. Any info you'd be willing to share privately?

nah, I'm not familiar with any exploits that would let you grab cookies from other domains if that's what you mean...

Yeah, oh well. Thanks for the replies.

Perhaps smokey can help. Anyone have his new contact info for icq? I had it, but I'm not about to go through hundreds of numbers to eventually get to his.

"Is it possible to read the data of cookies from other websites?"

Depends on the type. Hard code sets can be, but, nothing browser session based can be unless they are conditional session sets expressing the same repeated value.


I don't wanna know why you asked either :Oh crap

Nothing incredibly bad. Just want to see if i can grab vbulletin usernames off surfers that visit a site of mine.

Is the vbull site yours? You can set up something that for example fetches an image from the vbull site (sending the cookie), then does a call back to the other site with the data.

If it's not your site then there's near zero chance.

crack is always an alternative
