Holy CRAP! Facebook/Twitter + Public Wifi = “I OWN YOU”!

There's been a lot of talk about Firesheep, a free Firefox extension that collects data broadcast over an unprotected Wi-Fi network without using SSL. You turn it on, and by default it collects cookies for Facebook, Twitter and 24 other sites. Then you can sidejack the account and gain access under the acquired identity….get the rest of this story here:

IPv6…the countdown continues…”IPv6-Day”

•  

What is it?

On 8 June, 2011, Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai and Limelight Networks will be amongst some of the major organisations that will offer their content over IPv6 for a 24-hour "test drive". The goal of the Test Drive Day is to motivate organizations across the industry - Internet service providers, hardware makers, operating system vendors and web companies - to prepare their services for IPv6 to ensure a successful transition as IPv4 addresses run out.

Why should I care ?

By offering their content over IPv6, these sites could become unreachable or experience very slow response time for users with a misconfigured IPv6 stack.

Typically, the most common problem we observe at ipv6-test.com is a home router which has IPv6 enabled, but no IPv6 connectivity. As a result, computers and networked devices on the LAN get an IPv6 address and default route, when in fact their outgoing IPv6 traffic never goes beyond their own router.

Take the test!

Check today your readiness for world IPv6 day ! Click here to take the test. If the first test takes too long and gives you a warning about IPv6 misconfiguration, be prepared to fix your network before the 8 June !

If the test passes, be it IPv4 only or v4+v6, you shouldn't experience any trouble on world IPv6 day. Actually, you may not even notice something is going on.
