FaceNiff for Android – Hack Facebook, Twitter sessions in seconds
June 6th, 2011 / No Comments » / by Faizan
You may know about FireSheep, the Firefox extension that used to hijack Facebook, Twitter sessions of users connected to an unsecured Wi-Fi Network. With recent success of Android, some developer has taken same concept of FireSheep to next level by creating an Android app. FaceNiff lets you hijack Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and more social network’s sessions of users connected to same Wi-Fi network with a tap of a thumb. It even works with secured (WEP, WPA or WPA2) Wi-Fi networks. All you need is a rooted and compatible Android Phone. Free version lets you hijack only three accounts and you can donate to buy unlock code. With my HTC Desire running MIUI rom, I was able to hijack Facebook account of my neighbor who uses my Wi-Fi network.
To protect your Facebook and Twitter profiles from being hijacked, you must secure your accounts using SSL encryption. Click here for information on how to secure your facebook account and here for information on securing your Twitter account.
Twitter For Android 1.0.4 Update
September 23rd, 2010 / No Comments » / by Faizan
Twitter just released 1.0.4 update for its Android client. 
I’ve noticed following improvements
- - Redesigned Home Screen
- - App is now much more responsive, fast, user friendly and you will notice more animations while navigating through screens and different options.
- - My Profile now shows more details and user can edit their profile from within the application.
- - Separate icon for trends Added instead of animated trends
However I’ll still prefer Seesmic for Android over Twitter for Android for missing ‘Quote Tweet’ feature in twitter for android app. Move to SD Card feature is still missing in this update which I think is must to space precious phone memory.
