Jonathan is a network administrator who is currently testing the internal security of his network. He is attempting to hijack a session, using Ettercap, of a user connected to his Web server. Why will Jonathan not succeed?
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
