Safeguarding your mobile phone

As many as 10,000 mobile phones are stolen every month. Two thirds of the victims are aged between 13 and 16. Many phones are also stolen from unattended cars. Here are some practical measures you can take to keep your mobile phone safe.
Remember to...
to register your mobile phone at www.immobilise.com
keep your phone out of sight in your pocket or handbag when not in use
use your phone's security lock code, if it has one
record details of your electronic serial number (ESN) and consider separate insurance
some phones have an IMEI number which is a unique identifier for the phone; you can obtain this number by typing *#06# (star hash 06 hash) into your mobile phone and it will display a 15 digit number
property mark your phone with your postcode and door number to help police identify stolen ones
report a lost or stolen phone to the police immediately
inform your service provider if your phone is stolen or lost
Don't...
attract attention to your phone when you are carrying or using it in the street
park in isolated or dark areas
leave your phone in an unattended car - if you must, lock it out of sight. It only takes seconds for a thief to smash a window and steal your phone.
By taking these simple precautions, you can protect your phone.

Sniffing SSL traffic using MITM attack / ettercap, fragrouter, webmitm and dnsspoof.

Before reading on this guide is for educational purposes only. I take no responsibility from what people do with this info. First thing is to get fragrouter.

Webmitm will issue our ssl cert to the victim so we can decrypt the traffic we capture. Start webmitm by typing Code: webmitm -dNow we can start the arp spoof.
