  1. Hi I am attempting to use Firesheep on Backtrack R2 but I have a problem. In the Firesheep interface preferences, I only have eth0, wlan0 and lo. When i turn on mon0 using airmon-ng, mon0 doesn't appear in the list of interfaces. The same happens for at0 when i use airtun-ng. Is there any command i should use to make these interfaces appear in the dropdown?

  2. Try running Firefox as root. Worked for me.

  3. What switches do you need to start ettercap with? I am getting ReferenceError: cc is not defined when I got into preferences in BT.

  4. The RefernceError: cc is due to some poor coding, I've removed the reference that causes this, try my plugin...
