Cookie grabber

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is patent nonsense; no reasonable person can be expected to make any sense of it whatsoever. It fails to describe what the attack is or how it works. Rulesdoc 04:20, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment; Not much content, but not patent nonsense. Most readers could understand this (assuming they knew what a cookie was, in this context). More than two years old and still no more than a dictionary definition, so I don't see much reason for it. Masaruemoto 04:39, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't see how this is patent nonsense, a Google search turns up a number of security discussions. The lack of info would favor marking it as a stub. That being said, it doesn't seem to be a commonly enough used term to merit it's own article. Maybe transwiki to Wiktionary?  Citi Cat   ♫ 04:46, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Not patent nonsense, but would be better off pointing to Cookie theft-- Lenticel ( talk ) 09:36, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to HTTP cookie, which is already much longer than this stub and presents it in sufficient context. Thomjakobsen 13:29, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect This article was so confusingly worded that it wasn't clear to me that it had anything to do with XSS, but if it is, Cookie theft is the right place to redirect to. Rulesdoc 00:05, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect - as per above. The section is better developed than the current article.  If it expands enough to merit its won article, it can be done then. -- Whpq 18:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
