Ryoken Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Is there a site/simple way to make the data in a cookie human readable ? I'm looking for a way to remove things like %7C, %3E, etc .. I'm betting this is a simple task, but I haven't done much with cookies in the past, and would be flying blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted February 24, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted February 24, 2010 Depends how the cookie is saved, and what type of data. but I know on Firefox you can get "Add n' edit cookies" or "cookie viewer", and see the contents of cookies. It won't show you passwords or anything, unless the website is dumb enough to store those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 nvme Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 if you use firebug there's a plugin called firecookie that allows you to add/edit/remove/view cookies for the current site you're on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mouldy Punk Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Cookies from different places could be saved in a different formats - so there's no universal way to make any cookie human readable. What you described sounds like they're just url-encoded strings though. You could probably use this to decode it. It still might not be particularly human readable though - they're designed to be read by computers :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
