Hi tribe,
Firesheep only works on open networks, not encrypted networks. Note that Wi-Fi networks where you log in through your browser (e.g. airports) don't provide encryption.

I've read that WEP encryption can be cracked fairly easily link), so I'm sure it's only a matter of time until someone packages up WEP cracking with Firesheep into an easy-to-use package.
