The reason I specify "hub" is that one difference between a hub and a switch is that a hub simply propagates data that comes in on one port to all other ports. A switch only propagates an incoming packet to the next port on that packet's journey, e.g. the firewall. Since the swithc operates at the Ethernet level, it should hide Internet traffic from the other machines on the LAN. > > On Thu, Nov 4, 2010 at 1:09 PM, Charles Curley > <[email protected]> wrote: > > I haven't seen any discussion of FireSheep here. > > > > http://www.charlescurley.com/blog/archives/2010/11/04/bringing_in_the_sheep/index.html > > > > -- > > > > Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign > > Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards > > and/or writing?
