@CortAmmon I completely agree. There was a FireSheep FireFox extension and Android app.

It just sounds like a more exotic and difficult thing to do if you have to use the low level tools rather than just downloading an app. | |

@CortAmmon Yes and you can just do it by hand with TCPDump or WireShark.

There was a program a while back called FireSheep which you'd run at a starbucks or other open hotspot, find people's unencrypted facebook page requests, and use that information to post as their account! | |
