Cookies 
allow a website to store information on a user's hard drive and later 
retrieve it. These cookies contain important information used to track a
 session that a hacker can sniff out and steal if they are on the same 
Wi-Fi network as the victim. They don't actually get the login 
passwords, but they can still access the victim's account by cloning the
 cookies, tricking Facebook into thinking the hacker's browser is 
already authenticated.<br />

 is a Firefox add-on that sniffs web traffic on an open Wi-Fi 
connection. It collects the cookies and stores them in a tab on the side
 of the browser.<br />
From there, the hacker can click on the saved 
cookies and access the victim's account, as long as the victim is still 
logged in. Once the victim logs out, it is impossible for the hacker to 
access the account.<br />

How to Protect Yourself</h2>
<ul>
<li>On Facebook, go to your <b>Account Settings</b> and check under <b>Security</b>.
 Make sure Secure Browsing is enabled. Firesheep can't sniff out cookies
 over encrypted connections like HTTPS, so try to steer away from HTTP.</li>
<li>Full time SSL. Use Firefox add-ons such as <a href="https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HTTPS-Everywhere</a> or <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12714/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Force-TLS</a>.</li>
<li>Log off a website when you're done. Firesheep can't stay logged in to your account if you log off.</li>
<li>Use
 only trustworthy Wi-Fi networks. A hacker can be sitting across from 
you at Starbucks and looking through your email without you knowing it.</li>
<li>Use
 a VPN. These protect against any sidejacking from the same WiFi 
network, no matter what website you're on as all your network traffic 
will be encrypted all the way to your VPN provider.</li>
</ul>

Protecting Yourself: Less Is More</h2>
Social
 networking websites are great ways to stay connected with old friends 
and meet new people. Creating an event, sending a birthday greeting and 
telling your parents you love them are all a couple of clicks away.<br />
Facebook
 isn't something you need to steer away from, but you do need to be 
aware of your surroundings and make smart decisions about what you put 
up on your profile. The less information you give out on Facebook for 
everyone to see, the more difficult you make it for hackers.</section><section> </section><section> </section><section><b>Few More Methods Are Still Remaining.</b></section><section><b>i will discusss it later. </b> </section></div>
