Firesheep
- i80and 11y agoThis is from 2010. Facebook uses HTTPS for everything now, right?
- jeffjose 11y agoYup. I was confused as to why Firesheep was resurfacing today.

- mrdrozdov 11y agoCorrect, but at the time of this release many websites (including GMail and Facebook I believe) did not and were vulnerable to Firesheep. The title of this post should be updated to reflect the 2010 posting.
- ambiate 11y agoI believe so. I still remember being in the local uni's lab over wifi and firesheep had ~80 entries for facebook/gmail/etc. Click a profile and hijack their session.
- ddavidn 11y agoAre we just here for the memories?
- michaelmcmillan 11y agoAstonishing to think about the lack of encryption in big services like Facebook 5 years ago.
- tams 11y agoWe should be thankful for Firesheep. It was brilliantly simple, spread fast, and forced the major players to adopt HTTPS rather quickly.
- mrdrozdov 11y agoFor the first time I've noticed the "past" option under the title (between flag and web).
