  1. Sir
    First of all Thank you so much for this easy demonstration.
    I tried this and I guess it was successful as I could see the IP address of the client system while capturing packets, but could not find any cookies.
    Although in my client system I did login to Pintrest and some other blog and was logged in till the end, but there were no cookies while capturing its packets.

  2. This is not a good way to write technical blogs. You even didn't tell anything that can viewers learn.

    Because I wasted my time, as your title says something and content says some other thing.
