[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1112850, member: 114717"] No. Perhaps a few thousand. The vast majority of people don't know, don't care, and even if they did know they still wouldn't care. Certain replay attacks do not require the user to still be logged in with an active session. If the attacker has the session token, your goose is cooked even if you log out and clear the browser cookies. The proactive ways to protect against replay attacks are clearly covered and easily understood in this article (it is as good as any of the hundreds of online articles that cover replay attack mitigation): [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/prevent-replay-attacks/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
