Hi All,

Recently, I came across a new clickjacking attack as shown here:

http://web.ncsu.edu/abstract/technology/wms-jiang-clickjack/

For the Clickjacking attack, they have not released the report yet so not 
much details is available. But see the following website which contains the 
comments from the researcher himself:

http://web.ncsu.edu/abstract/technology/wms-jiang-clickjack/comment-page-1/#comment-72612

Some pointers:

   - It is a UI readdressing attack.
   - It is done by hijacking the launcher, which is completely different 
   from earlier overlaying-based approaches.
      - This is supposedly different from other earlier attacks that 
      involves clickjacking and was patched in Android 2.3
      - See: 
      
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Android-2-3-Features-Protection-Against-UI-Redressing-Attacks-171185.shtml
   - The phone is not rooted and the attack does not involve kernel space 
   operations like system calls redirection etc.

Anybody has more info on how the attack is done (source code, report etc)? 
Any idea how the applications could be hidden? Similarly for example while 
using my app, i want to hide all the other applications, is this possible?

Thanks and Regards,

Perumal
