Session Hijacking in OSI Model primarily targets the Session Layer (Layer 5), allowing attackers to take control of an active session.
It can also affect the Application Layer (Layer 7) through cookie theft, and the Transport Layer (Layer 4) via TCP hijacking.
Learn how session hijacking maps to OSI layers and how to protect against it.
