One of the @stake tools (WebProxy I think) is Java-based and thus
platform-independent, if slow.

Subject: SUMMARY modify non-persistent cookies and more q's


dear list,

thanks for all the replies! i'll post a brief summary now and ask some
more ...

modifying non-persistant cookies is definitely possible :) some ways:

- proxies, proxie-like things and testing suites (@stake, achilles,
websleuth, etc.):
i tried achilles (somewhat unstable), @stake's is too expensive, websleuth
looks very nice but haven't had time to test it yet (i rarely use win
boxes)
- ram editors (winhex looks very nice, expensive too though)
- handcrafting (via BHO, perl http-request module, ...)
- the easiest way though: "javascript:
document.cookie='CookieName=CookieValue';" :)

as for the proxy and ram editor things: most of these tools were either
expensive, or windows-only, or both. ... can somebody recommend some good,
free, opensource, linux (or os x) variant for tools like winhex or
websleuth?

many thanks,

nico
