@secdrive They’re more expensive that the option we suggested and we have no experience with them, but thanks for the update / insight.
Here is the easy-to-use solution against Firesheep: secdrive.com
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.
@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.
@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.
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.
@FGMTmusic Sure?
@lauriehull1 Great information dear friend….! Love and Peace

Should I make a song about this ?
@lauriehull1 Thanks!
Wow… Thanks Paul! Great info!
@KevinBarnesTV Your welcome.
@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.
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
Great Tip! thanks for this…
@daubenque This particular issue is about wifi – unsecured wifi.
@thecuppromos Do you have a URL?
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!
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
@MarendaDotBiz Thanks.
great info tweeting
@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?
