Weaponizing Firefox - part 1

First post! I could talk about alot of boring stuff but let's get right in to the meat :)

We are going to see how we can turn Firefox into a powerful tool for our hacking needs, this is intended just to be an aid and not the definitive tool, so I just made a small selection, other addons might include Tamper data, Live Http headers...

We will install the following addons: FoxyProxy, Firebug, Firecookie, Hackbar, on with the show!

FoxyProxy

This addon will let us quickly switch between proxys or just disable proxys and use our normal connection, this will be very useful to use web proxy tools like Burp suite , paros, webscarab...

We can grab it form here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/
it will ask you to reboot the browser so proceed and now let's take a look at the configuration.

We just need to click on "Add new proxy" enter a name and proxy configuration, like this

We can also go to global settings and check "Show mode (text) on status bar" so we can quickly see what our active proxy setup is, at this point we should be ready to start using our new proxy switcher.

Stay tuned for next part: seting up firebug and firecookie!
