So, after i wrote firesheep article many guys asked me if there is any way to know if anyone is using firesheep on my wifi to hack me or on how to save myself from a firsheep attack? So, I thought to share a simple method to avoid yourself getting hacked on any public wifi.
When firesheep was launched it raised a lot of concern over security on a public Wifi but soon black sheep was launched to tackle the firesheep.What is a firesheep:?
It is a addon of the firefox to tackle down the firesheep in a public wifi network.
What you will need?
- Wincap (download)
- Blacksheep addon (download)
- Mozilla firefox
- Windows
How to install Blacksheep?
- First download and install wincap
- After you did that click on download to install the blacksheep (if you have already installed firesheep then please disable it, because it will mesh up with blacksheep)
So, now blacksheep is installed, what to do next?
- Go to tools > addon
- Search of the blacksheep and then click on the options to configure your desired interval time.
- Change your desired interval time
