The first example uses setInterval() call with relatively small interval
value (e.g. 0) to change window.location property. A browser is
entrapped within the attacking web site while the user thinks that
browser actually left the page.

Didn't really work on my computer. The content of the address bar could be seen changing
continuously between swiecki.net and google.com, probably in a way similar to what happens with Safari.


The second one is based on the http URI scheme which allows embedding
user/password parameters into it, i.e. http://user:password () domain com.
Such parameters can contain whitespaces, so the attack vector is quite
obvious.

Tested with Konqueror 3.5.7 on Linux 2.6

Again, it didn't work. My address bar showed "%20 () alt swiecki net/saft2.html", aligned to the right.
Sure, if you scroll all the way to the left you'll just see www.google.com, but otherwise the
address shown is what I reported above.
Tested with Konqueror 3.5.5, KDE 3.5.5, kernel 2.6.21-r4 (gentoo), 64bit version.
