By sniffing data packets using Ferret in the open Wi-Fi network at the famous Black Hat security convention, Robert Graham, who is the CEO of Errata Security showed attendees that cookies can be used against users of popular web based e-mail systems. He demonstrated a soon-to-be released program entitled Hamster, which enables the cloning of cookies in such a fashion that e-mails can not only be read by, but can be sent from a hacker's computer to look and act exactly like they came from the original user's e-mail program.
