firesheep

[frunkis54]

is anyone concerned about firesheep. i haven't found to much on it. besides not using public wifi is there any precautions we can take ie. software or settings to block it?

firesheep say you? Good it is!

if on a non encrypted wifi use https, if on an encrypted one do nothing.

You can go to the next step if on a Wifi - VPN. I used OverPlay VPN - monthly costs but very secure (sniffers cannot see ANY traffic except the encrypted VPN) and as a bonus you can watch TV online from overseas (eg BBC iPlayer, US Content while not in the US, etc.)
