Cross Domain Basic Auth Phishing Tactics

Basic-auth phishing needs no clicked link: an embedded image on a protected domain pops the credential dialog on the page you want to phish. Alex supplies two dialog-spoofing bugs that hide the real host: Opera truncates the hostname after 34 characters and appends an ellipsis, and IE7 shows the Punycode form, so a Cyrillic o in microsoft.de passes.
