Oh yeah arp spoofing or just session hijacking your way into people's accounts was way too facile back then. I seem to recall a browser plugin that did it [1]

Firesheep proliferated quite rapidly at my uni, even to extremely non technical people due to its sheer ease of use and the potential for comedy.

The worst people would usually do is leave a vaguely embarrassing status on your FB page, which was the usual prank if you left your computer unlocked anyway.
