where is the "session fixation" / token hijacking attack graphic? The history of 1.0 and the rush to put out OAuth 1.0a I will always remember. The year was 2008 and us yammer engineers implemented this new best practice auth system. It went live. And then suddenly a few days later someone in the office proved how the hijack was possible.


Why is that relevant. We are at OAuth 2.0. who cares about what's been 17 years ago?


i guess it's not. just past trama. I had to talked about it. Better now.


2.1 is just around the corner.


And 2008 is still 17 years ago.


What??
