Armed to the teeth with Kali Linux, any reasonably intelligent individual can execute a MITM or Man-In-The-Middle by packet sniffing and injecting packets into the stream against Facebook.
This is of concern when on public wireless networks, or public local area networks.

Protect yourself by running a desktop client like Adium, and encrypting your chats.
In Adium, go to [cci]File – Facebook – Edit account – Privacy[/cci] tab then change Encryption to “Encrypt Chats Automatically”
Sadly, as this is a step forward it’s still not a solution. If and when you have Facebook open, either in a current session or by starting one your chat’s will be populated with your Adium activity – thus reversing the “encryption”
So, to prevent accidently sending insecure information back into your browser, disable Facebook Chat!
Log into your account and click [cci]Chat – Options – Offline[/cci]
This is a step forward, but the fact remains that most will use the Facebook website for its convenience (no desktop client required) and accessibility – and consequently be vulnerable to attack. Never ever ever send passwords, credit card numbers, social security numbers, or anything that you wouldn’t want a stranger in the street to find in your trash over Facebook chat. You have been warned.
check! facebook’s just not safe anymore!
We exploit the opportunity of this blog post to inform internet users about our effort to make a steady and fair environment for Facebook users. As you may already know Facebook Accounts are SUSPENDED with geometrical progress. We started a petition against this policy and we ask to unite your voice with ours to create the proper attention and rectify this issue with Facebook admins. Current social media editors at various magazines want to see that there is a certain interest before they create articles to their websites and/or magazines. To all readers and to blog owner we ask to support our petition here : http://FacebookDisabled.me (redirects to petitionspot) – Twitter : http://twitter.com/facebookpetitio . Thanks everyone for this time !!
