>>The only problem you have is someone stealing your WiFi access >>authentication, Hmm.. that's another cause for concern.. Then again, I don't really care.. since most wifi access plans are the "unlimited" variants. so... :) (Besides, the wifi conn I'm using is the FREE type..so... another :) ) I'm more concerned with my Webmail security.. >>Rather than being paranoid, you need to identify the threats that you >>are trying to counter. Which is why I keep asking the question.. Can someone point me in the right direction as to where an ethereal capture of my login/pass to Yahoo Mail (or any other site for that matter that _does_ not use ssl/ssh connections) will lead to a compromise. I've seens things like "....user=someuser&.pass=&*#IDJ&$Jjs74f;604ksu455ldkg&.statu=......." something like that. Can someone use a crack tool like jack the ripper or some other variants to crack it? As I asked a few times already. How does my PC know what to encode/encrypt the plain-text pass I type in into that hash that Yahoo/whatever login/pass combo i enter for any site that needs pass access. Cheers, .^.
