Title: | Notabnab: Protection Against the "tabnabbing Attack" | Authors: | Ünlü, S. A. Bıçakcı, Kemal |

Source: | 2010 Fall General Meeting and eCrime Researchers Summit, eCrime 2010, 18 October 2010 through 20 October 2010, Dallas, TX, 84071 | Abstract: | In recent years phishing attacks have become one of the most important problems of online security. Aza Raskin, the creative lead of Mozilla Firefox team, proposed a new type of phishing attack, "tabnabbing attack" as he names it. The attack is different from classical phishing attacks; while classical attacks rely on deception of users with a similar URL and/or content in appearance to the original site, this attack uses our memory weakness and false perception that browser tabs are immutable i.e., do not change while inactive. We develop a Firefox add-on to protect users against this attack. Our method is based on the fact that a phishing web site should change its layout radically to look like the original site. This add-on watches the open tabs and indicates whether one changes its layout, favicon and/or title to become like another site. © 2010 IEEE. | URI: | https://doi.org/10.1109/ecrime.2010.5706695 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11851/5853 |
