1) Yup, pretty unconvincing. Though one could separate window shadows,
invert the image and create what looks like a seamless background in the
file-upload window.

2) Where is here? :)

Cheerio,
Chris.

 Hi folks,

 Two minor things that do not deserve a lengthy discussion, but are
 probably mildly interesting and worth mentioning for the record:

 1) Chrome browser is an interesting example of the perils of using
 minimalistic window chrome, allowing multiple windows to be spliced
 seamlessly to confuse the user as to the origin of the displayed
 content. An unconvincing Windows-specific proof-of-concept:
 http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/chsplice/

 2) I reported this to the vendor long time ago, and could not get them
 to commit to a specific fix: Safari allows windows without the address
 bar and other essential chrome, akin to the behavior of other browsers
 circa 10 years ago. This essentially makes all other address spoofing
 vulnerabilities redundant, as the attacker has the ability to decorate
 windows arbitrarily (you can look up ancient proof-of-concept exploits
 for Netscape or MSIE here).

I'm guessing you have your window manager configured to render window
shadows. In this case, this is less plausible, yup, unless you do the
inverted gradient trick.

 2) Where is here? :)

I tried to dig something up, but couldn't. But we definitely had these
around 2001-2003, culminating in browsers removing the ability to do
location=no in window.open().
