Wi-Fi Warning – Sidejacking At Wi-Fi Hotspots

Download Graphics to ViewSidejacking is the term used to describe the malicious act of hijacking an engaged Web session of another user on the same Wi-Fi network. Although such attacks are not new, they used to require sophisticated technical expertise. But a popular new Firefox plugin named Firesheep has made sidejacking easier for amateurs.

For example, an intruder sitting nearby you at an airport could use Firesheep to silently take over your Facebook session, gain access to your sensitive data, and send viral messages and wall posts to all of your friends. Even your wireless home network could be subject to sidejacking if not securely configured, since drive-by hackers might be in the neighborhood.

As a precaution, try to avoid highly sensitive online activities while at a hotspot since security may be unreliable; your data (such as passwords) could be allowed to travel unencrypted within range of the wireless router. It is generally safe, however, to use public Wi-Fi for accessing sites with an address that starts with https; those sites provide end-to-end encryption. Password-protected hotspots are usually safe, too.

On your wireless home network, be aware that the old protocol known as Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) can be easily broken with readily available software. Only the stronger Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) will prevent local snoops from being able to decipher the dialog between your computer and the wireless router.

This Month's FAQ – How Do I Remove Unwanted "Stuff" From E-mails?

Question: What's the easiest way to remove unwanted "stuff" from e-mails before I forward them? I'm talking about all of the addresses, comments from previous recipients, etc. that no longer need to be there.

Download Graphics to ViewAnswer: As you may have already discovered through trial and error, there are different ways to approach this and some work better than others. When you click on "Forward" to forward an e-mail, a new window opens with the forwarded content in it. Here you designate to whom you are forwarding the e-mail and click on "Send." The forwarded e-mail usually contains all of the addresses that the e-mail was previously sent to, often along with other content that's no longer necessary. Sometimes you can highlight the unwanted content and simply press "Delete," but this doesn't always work. You can also try using the "Delete" key and the backspace key, but again, this method can have mixed results.

I suggest you give the following technique a try and see if it simplifies the process for you.

  1. After choosing "Forward," fill in the addressee(s) and edit the subject if desired.
  2. Highlight the portion of the e-mail message you wish to forward.
  3. Press "CTRL-C," then "CTRL-A," then "Delete," and then the "CTRL-V" keys. (On a Mac, use "COMMAND" instead of "CTRL."

"CTRL-C" copies the highlighted material to the clipboard. "CTRL-A" is a shortcut for selecting all of the text in the document. "Delete" removes the highlighted portion. "CTRL-V" pastes from the clipboard whatever was highlighted when you clicked on "CTRL-C." Your e-mail is now cleaned up and ready to forward.
