MENU
John visits an online shop that stores the IDs and prices of the items to buy in a cookie. After selecting the items that he wants to buy, the attacker changes the price of the item to 1.
Original cookie values:
ItemID1=2
ItemPrice1=900
ItemID2=1
ItemPrice2=200
Modified cookie values:
ItemID1=2
ItemPrice1=1
ItemID2=1
ItemPrice2=1
Now, he clicks the Buy button, and the prices are sent to the server that calculates the total price.
Which of the following hacking techniques is John performing?

I don't think it's that simple, there must be more to it.

I thought cross site scripting was more about injecting scripts into web pages, so I'm leaning towards cookie poisoning for this one.

I remember practicing a question about cookie manipulation, and it was definitely called cookie poisoning.

I'm not entirely sure, but it seems like it could also involve a man-in-the-middle attack since he's intercepting the data somehow.

I think this might be related to cookie poisoning since he's modifying the cookie values directly.

I'm a little confused by all the technical details in this question. Cookie manipulation, item IDs, and price changes - it's a lot to take in. I'll have to read through it carefully and try to break down the key elements.

Ah, I see what's going on now. The attacker is manipulating the cookie data to get a lower price. This sounds like a classic cookie poisoning attack. I'm feeling good about selecting the right answer.

Okay, let me think this through. The attacker is modifying the cookie values to change the item prices, so I'm guessing this is some kind of cookie-based attack. I'll have to weigh the options carefully.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'm not super familiar with Stackdriver, so I'll need to read through the options carefully. I'm leaning towards A or D, but I want to make sure I understand the differences between the approaches.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure when benefits management should continue after a programme closes. I'll need to carefully review the options and think about the underlying principles.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this. I know the command is related to Node Manager, but I can't remember the specifics. I'll have to review my notes on that topic before answering.

Man-in-the-middle attack? Really? That's not even close to what's happening here. This is clearly a cookie poisoning scenario.

I'd go with option D, cookie poisoning. Changing the prices in the cookie is a pretty clever way to get a good deal, but it's not exactly ethical.
