Below, I have listed steps on how to capture Facebook and other accounts cookies. This will help you to know how Wireshark and Cain-Abel can be used to sniff packets and capture cookies.
First: Gain acess to the Network. Open networks or your own network would be easy but if you have a specific slave you want you should be able to gain acess using Backtrack.
