Re: [Full-disclosure] Remote Desktop Command Fixation Attacks

My employer does this, but I think its easier to fool users, say we craft a
website say which again asks for username/password & most users will blindly
give away their credentials thinking it as a new session..

Not to step in to the middle of this, but I once worked for an employer
with what I considered the best way of stopping attacks cold: a proxy server
that prompted you for your credentials when you went to an external web site
and gp settings that disabled the ability to save your username/password
locally as well as tight settings on the systems to prevent pretty much
anything from being installed or modified. So everytime you opened up a
brand new session of ie and tried to access an external site you were
prompted for your username/password. Somehow I doubt there's any malware
around that is designed to survive in that type of an environment.
