Please explain what "land phishing" is?

I know that phishing is when someone steals someones usernames, passwords, or credit cards. I heard that land phishing is when someone steals someone else's downloaded programs or music or something. I don't know if this is right. Please explain.Please explain what "land phishing" is?
i think you mean LAN phishing. Say you hook up to a public network at a coffee shop etc. You are on the local area network (LAN) hosted by the coffee shop to allow internet access. Depending on your computers settings it is possible for people to look at music, videos and other things used, for instance by windows media player. A more experienced phisher may actually have the ability to access more but the bottom line is you should set your connection preferences to disallow local area network sharing and even homegroup options if you're out in public. If you use a router at home make sure you secure it with WPA2 because it is very easy to crack wep and possible to crack wpa, and then they can work away on your own home network.Please explain what "land phishing" is?
Not quite...

'phishing' is where an attempt to lure the victim to a link, or website, with the intention of getting them to install some malware. That then can lead to stealing passwords or what have you (depends on what the payload is).

'Spear phishing" is a more focused lure is presented; for instance someone posts on YouTube, they attended the company picnic this July, and the phisher sends an e-mail to that person saying "I have some great shots of you and James (another co-worker) at the picnic, click the link to see them...", where upon the victim thinks it's genuine (because it's so accurate) and clicks the link.

I've not heard of "land" phishing...maybe Google the term?



"CS..." may be onto the idea.

Firesheep (a Firefox add-on) allows passive monitoring of LAN traffic, with the easy to annex 'session cookie' that let's them log in as the victim.Please explain what "land phishing" is?
