Decode BIGIP Cookie

BIGIP Cookie Decoder - Chrome Extension for Troubleshooting

The 'BIGIP Cookie Decoder' is a Chrome extension that decodes the encoded cookies used by the F5 BIG-IP load balancer. These cookies, which are automatically sent in every client request, allow load balancing control by tracking each client’s server association. The extension reverse-engineers the F5 algorithm used to encode this data, revealing the IP address and TCP port of the host managing the connection. Its primary use is aiding administrators in troubleshooting scenarios. However, it's important to note that the extension is unable to handle non-encrypted cookies due to their security risk.
