Bug#601691: ITP: idiocy -- a warning shot to people browsing the internet insecurely



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Description: A warning shot to people browsing the internet insecurely.

Idiocy quietly watches for people insecurely visiting twitter on
public wifi networks,
then hijacks their session to post a tweet warning them about the
dangers. It was
written in response to the release of Firesheep, which will result in
a huge increase
in session stealing attacks, with no defence other than forcing people
to use SSL.
