Description

This is a generic module which can manipulate Python Flask-based application cookies. The Retrieve action will connect to a web server, grab the cookie, and decode it. The Resign action will do the same as above, but after decoding it, it will replace the contents with that in NEWCOOKIECONTENT, then sign the cookie with SECRET. This cookie can then be used in a browser. This is a Ruby based implementation of some of the features in the Python project Flask-Unsign.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
