For those of you who don't know what Firesheep is

http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/24/fir...ntent=My+Yahoo

Developer Eric Butler has exposed the soft underbelly of the web with his new Firefox extension, Firesheep, which will let you essentially eavesdrop on any open Wi-Fi network and capture users’ cookies.

As Butler explains in his post, “As soon as anyone on the network visits an insecure website known to Firesheep, their name and photo will be displayed” in the window. All you have to do is double click on their name and open sesame, you will be able to log into that user’s site with their credentials.

Wow this would be perfect with the N900

It's an Firefox extension so did anyone try to simply install it on Fennec?

This is the reason I use SSH tunnel + Fennec on any wifi network I'm not 100% happy with (which is all of them except at home). Or just use 3G. Would be interested to see if it installs/works, will try it shortly.

let us know how it goes!

there's the source. looks like there's some compiled bits and it is going to require libpcap it looks like

new laptop last month so my dev environment is down or I'd be building.

Seems interesting, how hard would it be to compile this plug-in for MicroB?

Wireshark + some scripting should do this too, no? Or is the issue to force the cookie into the browser thru scripting, perhaps?

I never knew it'd be that complicated. I really wanna do this ****!

I had to try.

so we know it doesnt work for microb. Well I downloaded fennec but I cant seem to find the firesheep extension even searching within firefox's add on data base and through Google. Google just gives a bunch of news reports about it. anyone find a link to it yet?
