Firesheep

[VoiceOfWisdom]

Hi all, I'm trying to get the network monitoring Firesheep tool to run on my copy of Backtrack 4 r1. Whenever I run the command "firesheep-backend --fix-permissions" it throws the error "/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version 'GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found". Has anyone else had success with this piece of software on backtrack?

Thanks for the reply. So what is the issue then? I have read that first result before but it didnt make sense. Is the issue that I have bad dynamic links?

The issue is that Firesheep can't find one of the libraries it needs to run, you can correct this problem by following the advice and solutions provided via the google search results linked earlier in this thread.

I like to call this one "follow the yellow brick road"

https://github.com/codebutler/firesheep

1) $ git clone https://github.com/codebutler/firesheep.git
2) $ git submodule update --init
3) apt-get install autoconf libtool libpcap-dev libboost-all-dev libhal-dev xulrunner-1.9.2-dev
4) ./autogen.sh
5) make
6) xpi will be created inside the build directory. Load the extension into Firefox

Step #3 is the yellow brick road, follow the dependency tree and start googling. This is where you learn to add repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list and also where you get to use dpkg -i many times till you get them all.
