It's not possible to access sessions that are not your own if that's what
you mean.

If you store sessions in a database, you should be able to see the tables
where they are stored and to figure out how to access those tables.

I've never actually seen the data structures used when this is done. Is it
held in plain English and easy to read? Or is it all encrypted? Surely you
still can't session hi-jack though as it would be a security risk?

No.

You can - Microsoft advising encrypting the <connectionStringssection of
web.config and also using integrated security in an attempt to make it
harder to access, but that's about it...
