@Rafay baloch
your cookie logger technique is not working i hope you have not learn about php language don't copy what ever you see in internet and paste http://rafayhackingarticles.blogspot.com/2009/09/hack-into-email-account.html if u don't know hacking follow my brother's blog www.latest-hackers.co.cc do u have any proof that ur tricks are 100% working if yes hack my id then i will belive (trisha281990@gmail.com)
@trisha281990
Cookie stealing is the widely used method and If you have a very little knowledge about hacking, you should know where the
cookie stealing works, And about your brother's blog, This website has more ads then the content, So he is just making money from his blog not any thing to people, And the website is spamming on RHA for months now.
I can say it without any doubt that RHA is one of the top Ethical hacking and security websites around, Well I can't change your mind, I do meet lots of jealous people on daily basis :P
Ya Rafay that website is completely a bullshit, It has lots of pop ups...
@ dear rafay
your cookie stealing script is wrong i am master's in HTML embedded scripting language it has error in 7th line and 14th line i am not jealous on you :-P because your profile introduction is so funny (i am a, he is a ) lol i am saying you to just dont copy and paste in your blog what ever u see in internet i hope every one are doing the same
@Trisha281990
I challenge you to prove that any of my post is a copy paste, RHA is a blog which provides unique content, not like the blog you mentioned in your earlier comment making money with few visitors, You don't have any facts or proofs for what you speak,And if you know PHP then you should have got the script to work for you.
I love you articles. Learned a lot thanks!
wait for 30 minutes but it only captures me
please explain in detail
i have learned alot from your blog and wanna learn about this too
Thanks for the great article, but it seems like the FireSheep download no longer exists [possibly removed by Mozilla?]. Is there any other place I could get it? thanks.

bro, a hve a question why when i press start capturing its appear 'backtend exited with error 1.' ?
hello bro..
i am arya putra from malaysia and im 1 of your silent readers but tonight im gonna make my first comment on your blog..
it is necessary for us to install the winpcap?
if not, what will happen?
FireSheep... It fails on HTTPS... What to do in that situation
Why should we download winpcap? What is it's work
hey rafay..
really its very good information..i love this.but what is blacksheep ?
Hi Rafay,
Thanks for sharing above valuable info.
Liked your way, of answering to naive/complex & funny comments(eg. trisha).
Keep posting we are reading.
First of all. firesheep wont work standalone on closed networks, you have to have a man in the middle attacker too, and on that not, if you know how to use a man in the middle attacker such as caine and able, or a pass cracker like John the ripper, you really wouldn't need firesheep it just makes things maybe a bit...easier for newbies. now then. there is a way to intigrate a man in the middle attacker into firesheep, here is the link ->https://www.antago.info/download/firesheep-arpspoof-howto-101107.pdf it is a PDF so you will need an adobe PDF reader to view it. I do not know anything about these guys so use at your own risk. I do not know how to do this with Mac (even though I'm on windows 7 on my Macbook pro right now, yes it is sad)So if you do know how, please follow up. i can be reached at army.greg_25c@ymail.com for anymore questions.
Yea i downloaded firesheep and got it ready. When I started capturing nothing happen and then I hit stop capturing I got the following message.Ignoring duplicate header:cache-control,Old:max-age=0,New:no-cache,Ignoring duplicate header:cache-control,Old:max-age=0,New:max-stale=0. Ignoring duplicate header:cache-control,Old:max-age=0,New:min-fresh=1000, so how do I fix this? thanks
Yea, no one can figure out the duplicate header error!
@Trisha281990 :hey trisha first learn manners after that comment here.

fire-sheep is not compatible with the new version of Firefox. It only works on the old version
do they have to be connected at the moment for me to steal their cookie data?
If you read the post you wouldn't be asking. And if you looked at the dates of the posts, this article was made years ago. And ps. The grammar police are going to laugh at most of you guys.
