Selected Answer: B
Answer: B Explanation: (A) ❌ HTTPS sessions are encrypted, making hijacking harder, not easier. (B) ✅ HTTP is stateless; sessions rely on application-layer cookies/tokens. (C) ❌ FTP isn't related to web session hijacking via Ettercap. (D) ❌ DNS hijacking involves domain redirection, not session theft. This aligns with CHFI Domain 5 (Application Forensics) principles. While applications create sessions via cookies over HTTP, the protocol itself lacks native session management, requiring tools like Ettercap to target application-layer vulnerabilities rather than protocol weaknesses ----- If you agree, please UPVOTE.

HTTP is a stateless protocol and, consequently, every HTTP request a website receives is viewed independently.
