However, FaceNiff app developer Bartosz Ponurkiewicz says more sites for hopping onto user accounts will soon be supported.

Not that you intend to try out FaceNiff, but you can’t hijack more than three profiles. Unlike Firesheep, the FaceNiff app listens in on wireless networks encrypted with WPA and WPA2 (WEP too) so that with one tap and within seconds, users can hijack the account types supported. FaceNiff allows users to sniff and intercept web sessions for Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Amazon, and Nasza-Klasa (a Polish site). The hacking app requires root access on Android phones. Like a wicked mobile cousin of Firesheep, FaceNiff could allow even a clueless noob to hack Facebook over Wi-FI networks. Picture this mobile-type scenario, as a person with a rooted Android smartphone casually strolls by a Starbucks, he or she taps once on a new app, and whammo, hops on and takes over Facebook profiles. Stealing cookies to potentially steal users’ credentials just got so easy and portable that loony stalkers are probably jumping for joy.
