'Can other computers see my browser's cookies' content?
I know they can see the cookie 'names' and that some hackers can edit the cookies to hack other peoples' accounts, but is it possible to find the 'content' of a cookie set on a specific computer, or is private and only shown on that computer?
Lets say I logged in with (cookie)username: Larry and I have a (cookie)code : 34h3b453 or whatever. And this is set by the PHP code:
setcookie('username', 'Larry', time() + (86400 * 30), "/"); setcookie('code', '34h3b453', time() + (86400 * 30), "/");
Assuming that 'Larry' is public on the webpage itself, but 34h3b453 is not, is it possible for the attackers to see that the 'code' cookie is 34h3b453, or is that value private and only shown on the computer I am using?
