Firefox users now have a new & easier point & click tool to sniff others cookies. It's somewhat easier to implement than sidejacking. Firesheep created a frenzy in social network & email users communities some days ago.
It's a adds-on which you have install in your firefox browser. After you install it, you will see a start capturing button on the right firesheep side bar. Click it & will see the users who are using social network sites. Click it & you will logged on as them. This hack is going to work only within open networks like wifi. It will not work on HTTPS-SSL secured sites.
What it does - It just steals other cookies which acts like the authentic users dna or fingerprint & make the remote server to believe that you are the genuine user.
There is also an anti-firesheep adds-on called Blacksheep which which warns you if firesheep is being used in your network. It creates a fake traffic & then monitors the network to see if Firesheep is active. So, if you notice firesheep running better change your wifi network or cafe or your location.
