I'm just curiouse how easy it would be to hijack a session.. because I'm going to use sessions to prevent multiple instances of a certain window, and I just don't want it to be able to work around.

 

I'm not asking how to hack sessions, just wondering how safe they are, because I'm sure they are hackable somehow.

 

And while im here.. what do you think would be the best way to prevent multiple pages open?

It's not easy to hijack sessions, but the problem is it can be done. Your goal, as a coder, is to make the risk as small as possible- increase your defenses against a "hacker" trying to hijack sessions.

One way to do that is by using the user's agent name (browser name). Check this article, it will guide you how to improve your security when it comes to session-hijacking.

 

Orio.
