Encryption?

[Primenay]

Ok so I logged onto this forum from a public location and I was wondering if my username and password is encrypted from my computer to the server?

There doesn't appear to be https support on the site so no encryption on your login and password most likely.

Looks like your password gets hashed in JavaScript before it leaves your browser. That's not much better then sending both in the clear though.

It would be easier for an attacker to just steal your cookie after you sign in since there's likely no encryption for that either.

And then that's assuming someone would want to impersonate you here.

Thanks for the replies! I just deleted the browser data before I left and made sure to log out. No biggie was just wandering I guess.
