Firesheep - Protect your Facebook account!

[Reksii]

There's this software, FireFox launched.
Firesheep is an extension for the Firefox web browser. The extension uses a packet sniffer to intercept unencrypted cookies from certain websites (such as Facebook and Twitter) as the cookies are transmitted over networks, exploiting session hijacking vulnerabilities

To protect your Facebook account, basically, don't use Public WiFi.

yah also be careful in logging in your online accounts in internet cafe.. Coz its very easy to put keyloggers there I hacked so many account using keylogger in internet cafe lol..

 

[***]

you should never log into anything in an internet cafe or a wifi network you dont trust, you're just asking to be hacked.

 

[holy_kamote]

Yah.. but If the internet cafe have depreeze app I think its safe to login there.. Coz if they reboot the pc all the files that download and saved there will automatically removed..

will be handy in the future..but i use opera more..do you have a plugin to opera?

 

[Thebanned4life]

Lol I've heard of it and installed it on my own network. I haven't seen if it works though it probably works just not for me

 

[Reksii]

I'm not sure if there is an Opera Plugin for this Popular101.
To protect you guys can also use Fire-Shepherd, what this basically do is send multiple files to the WiFi you connect to, that would confuse the Computer and nothing would be recognized. Works sometimes.

Firefox didn't release it; a user made an add-on for Firefox that basically sniffs cookies over an unsecured network connection. It can then use those cookies to log into someone else's account.

 

[Flow'n]

Yes, you can change your password. I would tell you but I cant tell you step by step because I'm never on now days.

I dont like using operamini its very slow in my pc and I think opera is not supported with this addon..

I prefer to use googloe chrome or firefox..
