I went to DEFCON last weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if that tool is on the conference cd that everyone got. You might want to turn on SSL in your Gmail account.

from the text jv is linking to:

If you are logging in to your Gmail account and you would like to benefit from this option, you can force it by manually typing https://mail.google.com before you log in. This will access the SSL version of Gmail and it will be persistent over your entire session and not only during authentication.

On the options tab at the very bottom of the page is the option to always use https.

Ok, here it goes:

1. Log in to Gmail
2. Go to the "Settings" link at the top of any Gmail page.
3. Near the bottom of the "General" tab is the "Browser Connection" section
4. Click the rdio button for "Always use https"
5. Click the "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the page
