    Sniffing email, webmail and html pages


    • Any unauthorized user with a Sniffer can trivially read all your critical information, such as:
      • all your un-encrypted emails to and from your customers, friends and family
      • all your un-encrypted emails using web-based emails
      • all of your login and password used on your un-encrypted html-based forms
          such as shopping carts, domain name registrations, any other website, etc

    Sniffer FAQs
      RobertGraham.com Sniffing FAQ ( original, circa 2000 )

      IronGeek.com

      ISS.net Sniffer FAQ ( original, circa 1996 ) -- nowhere to be found

    • Most all of the protocols are susceptible to sniffing ( its passwd is clear text )
      • telnet, ftp, httpd, pop3, imap, snmp, nntp

    • Using Secure pop3 and Secure IMAP
      • will (?) minimize the odds that the sniffer sees your login and passwd
      • will NOT prevent the the sniffer from reading your email in clear text
        when it travels around the world and comes into or leaves your mail server

    • More importantly, ALL unencrypted data is sniffable ( human readable )
      • send and receive only encrypted data for a trivial solution against sniffing

    • Using easy to guess login and passwd mitgates any encryption
      • it takes a few seconds or minutes to guess your passwd
        in the "100,000 word dictionary"

    • How do you know if someone is sniffing all your data
    • A firewall will NOT prevent sniffing
      • a firewall will not help because all user data has to go to the internet
      • they can sniff your outgoing emails
      • they can sniff your incoming emails
      • they can sniff your webpages you browse
      • they can sniff your web pages you provide

    • They can sniff ALL of your data, login, passwd and all emails
      • they can sniff ALL your data from all the routers you passed thru
      • they can sniff ALL your data from your ISP
      • they can sniff ALL your data from your colo

    Keyboard Sniffers - Loggers

    • if they installed a keyboard logger, you're dead ... gameover .. encryption will NOT help either since they can see your passphrase
      • if they installed the keyboardlogger remotely, you have other very serious securityproblems

    • if they have physical access, game over... just pull the plug and walk out with the PC or laptop with important data on it
