I support this only if all you do is change their profile pics to that of sheep.

one of my buddies is a complete idiot and leaves his phone laying around at his job. At least once a week his status is something along the lines of "I like the cock".

While I don't doubt that he does like the cock, I don't think he'd advertise it on purpose.

This would work on open public networks? If so, they is going to own A LOT of people. :p Personally, I never type in any sort of password on a public network. :p

Insane. Are we in danger if we use our email accounts, etc, at work, and in cafes then ? I guess gmail is safe because it's ssl.

Figured it out - it was flaky to install on my PC but went fine on my laptop. Didn't seem to pick up much though. Someone else stole my Internets, I guess.

How does this work? And would it work on a non-wifi network?

If you are directly connected to a HUB then yes. This really has nothing to do with facebook, just the fact that they don't use SSL by default. Session hijacks are nothing new.

Any website that uses a simple cookie for authorization that does not use ssl is susceptible to this attack.

You might send your password over an encrypted SSL connection, but as long as your authorization cookie is sent in plain-text over a network that can be sniffed easily you're fucked.

If a website is really smart and resourceful they will encrypt every transaction to their servers; non SSL HTTP is insecure by nature and should not be trusted.
