how to find user id from session_data from django_session table?

Question

In django_session table session_data is stored which is first pickled using pickle module of python and then encoded in base64 by using base64 modu

Answer 1

I wanted to do this in pure Python with the latest version of DJango (2.05). This is what I did:

>>> import base64
>>> x = base64.b64decode('OWNkOGQxYjg4NzlkN2ZhOTc2NmU1ODY0NWMzZmQ4YjdhMzM4OTJhNjp7Im51bV92aXNpdHMiOjJ9')
>>> print(x)
b'9cd8d1b8879d7fa9766e58645c3fd8b7a33892a6:{"num_visits":2}'
>>> import json
>>> data = json.loads(x[41:])
>>> print(data)
{'num_visits': 2}
