For the iPhone, you may have to root the device to allow for installation of apps not from the App Store. Install the app on your device and proceed as follows. Previous versions of Mozilla supported an extension known as firesheep which had the ability to hijack cookie sessions. Password through Phishing on the Same WiFi

Go to the public wifi you need to steal the login information from. If you are targeting a specific person, make sure they are on the same wifi and actively using it.

How Phishing Captures Someone’s Password.

You may be asking yourself, how do phishing apps access someone’s password? Well, here is the physics behind it. When you log into any online account, the browser creates a cookie for every session and for the entire period you are browsing the site. This cookie ensures you remain logged in even if you refresh the page a thousand times. Phishing apps hijack these cookies and can create replica sessions on the phisher’s device. Some advanced phishing apps and software can read the cookie and actually display the password while others are only able to hijack the session and get you logged into the victim’s account without knowing their password.
