Firesheep

Very cool new firefox plugin for sniffing credentials over HTTP for common online services such as twitter, facebook, and others that use HTTP logins STILL IN 2010.. Long overdue :)

I know that everyone reading this can decode HTTP logins, but this is a cool way to do it within a plugin!

Works over wifi, supports session hijacking (cookie theft).

Supports OSX! (win& linux too)

Might be worth checking out!

  1. Ryan,

    I am a former student of yours and I enjoyed how you always made things seem down to earth.I will be saving this blog in my favorites.Are you teaching anywhere as my cert is getting ready to expire and I need some help in renewing it. I would like to take the SNAA and since you wrote the book on that test I would like to get the training from you.

    Thanks
