How do I protect myself from Firesheep

Much is talking about Firesheep, the latest hype that has jumped to the forefront information showing something that has been talked about more specific forums for some time (the insecurity of many web services do not implement SSL correctly.)

As many people have been interested in the subject and in particular by protecting yourself, we will respond in a concise form as possible to the question of how to defend against and generally Firesheep attacks involving 'sniffing' the network:

Partial protection
Solutions that mitigate attacks as part of Firesheep:

Tools generating 'noise';

->> Benefits: This application injects bogus traffic on
the network to Firesheep confuse and hinder its work.

->> Disadvantages: If you use the analogy of the story of the wolf and the three little pigs, this would be the house of straw, easily avoidable, only useful as part of the defensive strategy, not as a final solution

Extensions for browsers that encrypt all the navigation:
