Would this http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/ help.
My initial assumption is not because you would have to have an md5
check<http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/>
on the server side...
But including permanent ssl, would showing the user the list of other IP
that are logged in (like Gmail)
and allowing them to login them out. Or even a mode in applications that
only allows one logged in user
at a time...assuming firesheep only works once the victim has logged in
once.
They would still steal the cookies, but they couldn't login two the site
could they..or if they're on the same
wi-fi router would they appear as the same user?
