If I were to open a free wifi network and let anybody use it, say call it: "Free Internet!" and many people used it.
Could I intercept those users personal information suck as Facebook usernames, passwords, emails, etc?
How deep would me penetration go? Or will I only be able to intercept packets?
I always tell my wife to not use online banking etc when she visits a cafe with free internet, but it's just a hunch - not based on my actual knowledge on the matter. That's why I'm asking. Thanks!

Yes. You'd have to do a bit of work, since the info would be encrypted, but by being in-path you would get all the info you need to decrypt the messages.

Unless she does her web browsing over a secured vpn, then there's a chance that information could be seen by someone.
