New hacking tool: FIRESHEEP
The name may sound inane but the applet’s sidebar speaks for itself. The new powerful hacking tool allows users to access another users’ acounts such as email, facebook, etc. What sites like facebook do is they encrypt your username and password but not the cookies that come “along for the ride”. This software accesses those cookies and then by doing that accesses your account. This software is execeptionally powerful when used in a public wifi area such as a caffe or a library. If you want to download this software you need 2 things: 1. to download firefox, and 2. to download the software from this link: https://github.com/codebutler/firesheep/downloads (open using firefox)
