Explanation

BeEF (Browser Exploitation Framework) is specifically designed for exploiting vulnerabilities in web browsers. It can be used to steal active session cookies by injecting malicious JavaScript code into a client-side application or by leveraging an XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) vulnerability. Since the session cookie is stored in an unprotected JavaScript variable, BeEF is an ideal tool to target and extract this information.
