In this demonstration, I am going to show you how easy it is to steal usernames and passwords. The information presented in this demonstration video and its counterpart is intended only to be educational. My goal is to inform the general public about the risks associated with connecting to public Wi-Fi hotspots. If you want to learn how to perform this attack, refer to my step-by-step tutorial "How To: Create A Fake Access Point With Easy Creds (BackTrack 5)" at http://youtu.be/d2J7ofwkoqw Starbucks, McDonalds, Panera Bread, Barnes & Noble, Sam's Club, Home Depot, FedEX, airports, and hotels are just some of the places providing customers with free internet access. Imagine how many individuals frequent these places... that's a lot of unsecured data. Note: It is illegal to perform this attack on any system or network that you do not own. Furthermore, it is illegal to capture usernames and passwords that do not belong to you. The information presented in this tutorial is for educational purposes only.
