Re: Firefox focus stealing vulnerability (possibly other browsers)

here is an idea... we can combine both techniques into a single
attack... the hardest part of your hack is to force the user to type
:// plus several other / but if we steel the focus from the address
bar, unaware users will type something like this http://www.google.com
for example, which is what we want.

try this

<input id="foo" type="text"/>
<script>
setInterval(function () {
document.getElementById('foo').focus();
},1);
</script>

:) the address bar is disabled...

phh :), I found something very interesting when testing your IE
example... every time I try to type something in the address bar, the
focus is redirected back to the input box. I wonder if it is possible
to capture what the user is typing in the address bar. That would be
neat... I am just checking your code to see what the hell is going on.

IE is vulnerable too, since I used to play around with this bug long
time ago.

Possibly MS00-093, but that's long fixed. But yes, MSIE variant is
possible, though more contrived.
