SSLPasswdWarning will is a simple Firefox extension designed with the aim of warning users when they:
· Click or give focus to a password input field that is affiliated with a form that will submit data over an unencrypted connection.
· When the user submits a form that contains a password input and it will submit over an unencrypted HTTP connection.
This was designed as a potential counter to the SSL Strip man-in-the-middle attack designed to induce the user to transmit credentials over an unencrypted connection.
Requirements:
· Firefox 1.5 to 3.6.*
What`s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Works with: Firefox: 1.5 ??? 3.5.*
· This version corrects a bug when using multiple tabs. The warning might not appear when clicking in an insecure masked input (or password) field if it had already appeared in another tab. However, it would correctly warn the user before they could submit the form.
