Here is the easy-to-use solution against Firesheep: secdrive.com

@secdrive They're more expensive that the option we suggested and we have no experience with them, but thanks for the update / insight.

Blah i just wanted to correct myself I didn't mean Cain & Able is better then firefox i ment it was better then firesheep busy installing stuff on a clients computer that be firefox so i had firefox on my mind at the time I said what i said.

[PhiberOptics]

Honestly I haven't been able test that Firesheep out but I can almost bet that thing won't protect you very much on a WEP Network or any network that is not yours for that matter. Just because the network is "Secure" that mean people still cant hack you if you don't run the network you cant trust it I recommend a VPN when using ANY wireless network that is not yours.

[eMarketingVids]

@PhiberOptics Security always good / never bad. However, when you're on an open network (as too many are too often) it's just easy easy easy to get hacked.

[PhiberOptics]

@eMarketingVids Please you don't need to tell me anything I been War Driving for years and Firesheep is nothing compared to Cain & Able is. Firesheep will be the new script kiddie program if you ask any of the people who are going to be downloading Firesheep how it operates and what its doing they'd have no ideal how to reply. Cain & Able is way better then Firefox.

Should I make a song about this ?

[MrRyanhightower]

wow great video, thanks. i knew it was possible to be hacked on a wi fi setup but didnt know people could (potentially) access my info THAT easily

[eMarketingVids]

@MrRyanhightower that's the story we're trying to push. and there are two issues here, 1) it's easier than it's ever been 2) you might get a new batch because it is so easy.

[KevinBarnesTV]

Great Tip! thanks for this...

[eMarketingVids]

@KevinBarnesTV Your welcome. 

[thecuppromos]

This is scary and I am still recovering from a frightening Halloween. I didn't need this. But, thankfully, I am prepared with the OWOW 8G VPN stick. Be sure to check it out. It just launched!

[eMarketingVids]

@thecuppromos Do you have a URL?

[daubenque]

Does this only pertain to wireless transmissions or is there an equal threat to those of use who use cable networks as well. I ask because my email account seems to be a target and has been hacked 7 times and one of my web sites hacked asl well. I would like to hear about methods available to protect a direct connect network if you have any knowledge of such things.

Thanks

[eMarketingVids]

@daubenque This particular issue is about wifi - unsecured wifi.

[MarendaDotBiz]

great info tweeting

[eMarketingVids]

@MarendaDotBiz Thanks.

[MilesHennis]

It's really good of you to help spread the word about Firesheep so that more and more people will know about it and increase hacking incidents throughout the world. Again, thank you for creating more hackers. I wish you well and hope that you don't get hacked. It's all well and good for you to promote security, but do you really have to reveal the malicious programs behind the need for it?

[eMarketingVids]

@MilesHennis Miles, your thoughts are appreciated but the fact of the matter is, the product is there and people are using it to do some pretty terrible things. Face it, if we didn't mention the program in the video, people wouldn't be taking it as seriously as they should.

[sspence65]

This requires someone to be on your network. I lock my wireless box to specific mac addresses. No unauthorized people on my network. Cost $0

[eMarketingVids]

@sspence65 Awesome.  Hopefully more people take things as seriously as you do. What do you do when you take the laptop out of the house?
