DroidSheep Tool - Android App For Hackers........... a session hijacking tool

DroidSheep Tool - Android App For Hackers

DroidSheep is an android tool developed by Andreas Koch for security analysis in wireless networks. It is basically a session hijacking tool that allows hackers to capture session cookies over the wireless network. That means you can sniff and capture the web session profiles of a person who is on the same network. 

Like Faceniff?

Not exactly, both FaceNiff and DroidSheep are the tools capable of hijacking the web session profiles over a wireless network.

But the problem with FaceNiff is, it only works with a list of websites while the DroidSheep works with almost all the websites/services.

How DroidSheep Works?

When you press the start button, DroidSheep will acts as a router to monitor and intercept all the network traffic (if you enabled ARP spoofing) and then display active session profiles.

How To Use DroidSheep To Hijack Sessions?

Before going into the how to section, make sure that your android phone is rooted.

Also, make sure, you have a target on the same network who is using HTTP to access a web account.

Open Site: It allows you to use victim's account as him/her.

Remove From List: Removes the selected session from the list.
