Hey all, I was just lurking the interwebs and I stumbled upon this goldmine:

[SNIP]

A firefox extension that makes hacking facebook, and other SSL encrypted sites easy as a double click. I tried it out a minute ago and it works like a charm. Just a heads up for anyone who uses sites like those in public areas

Mod Edit: Link removed. The security issue is real, but we cannot allow links to apps that make use of the security problem.

Just to add so that you don't go causing mass panic;

This won't work on your SECURE WIFI at home, or if you use a normal Home Router connected to your ADSL. In other words, most home users of the internet have nothing to fear of this, unless you just plugged everything in right out of the box and did nothing else.

It only works on a LAN - or a Local Area Network - where you and others using same Network (Not the same ISP) share one access point. The average home internet user who is not using Unsecure WIFI or is using a Wired ADSL setup connected to your phone line, will not be able to either use this tool, or have it used on you.

It would work extremely well at a WIFI hotspot. So in that you would want to be very wary of what you connect to if out in Public.

(You know how people around here are, you give them something and they make a mountain out of it.. you have to spell it out for them!!)

Double-click on someone, and you're instantly logged in as them.


This is going to have limitless potential

my friend is a computer science major, he says hacking people facebook, email, etc... is easy as long as you have the right softwares.

i wouldn't worry too much about apps and extensions, i would be more worried about people with the right knowledge. also just be careful of what you click and install.
