Since The Guardian published leaked documents exposing the depth of the NSA's spying powers, many people who've never put much effort into protecting their privacy are finally starting to pay attention.

Make sure that you don't jump forward because it will cause your skateboard to roll backwards and you will not be able...

One of the most popular tools for performing this attack is Ettercap, which comes preinstalled on Kali Linux.
