before. No need to send fake page via email to victim.
Tab Napping use the modern browser's multi tabbed environment. Now a days all people use multiple tabs for accessing Gmail, facebook, orkut and other websites simultaneously. The trick is to confuse user in his/her multiple tabs and redirect any of idle tab of his browser to your phishing silently. Tab Napping works on the user's assumption that a tabbed web page stays the same when other Internet services are being accessed.
How does tab napping work?
It is done by checking wether your page is idle or not, if it is idle or not used for some particular time period
then it gets redirected:
Things to be done:
1.check for mouse movement
2.check for scroll bar movement
3.check for keystrokes
If any of the above event is not triggered till few seconds , this means user is not using that tab, either is off from system or using other tab, so if these coditions are met, then we redirect it to our phished page, which user thinks it to be genuine page.
The idea behind this is very simple and is done by javascript. Tab napping is all about the relation of 2 pages. suppose Page A and Page B. Victim was viewing page A in a tab of a browser and then left this idle and and now using some other website in another tab of browser. If the user will not return to page A for some pre-specified time, page A will automatically redirect to Page B. This Page B is your phishing page. This redirection and cheking for user actions is done by Javascript.
