While many popular web sites on the Internet use frame busting to defend against clickjacking, very few mobile sites use frame busting. Similarly, few embedded web sites such as those used on home routers use frame bust- ing. In this paper we show that framing attacks on mobile sites and home routers can have devastating effects. We develop a new attack called tap-jacking that uses features of mobile browsers to implement a strong clickjacking at- tack on phones.

AIR Conversion of the IFrame Demo (Deitte.com)
I've converted the iframe demo found in the HTML in Flex post into an AIR demo. In this post is a badge to install the application, a link to the source, and a list of the differences between the two versions. A badge to install and run the application is on this separate page until I can figure out how to get Movable Type to stop entitizing scripts. You can also view the source of the demo here . The AIR HTML demo shows how easy it is to switch from using an iframe to mx:HTML . Of course, it may not be easy to convert some of the particulars of a large application or to convince your boss to use AIR, but the basic conversion only takes a few hours.
Don't Use IFrames for HTML in Flex (Deitte.com)
The iframe solution to HTML in Flex has become a popular, unsupported way to embed HTML inside of a Flex application. I've written a lot about this , but I've never been very comfortable with the solution. I feel it's time to gather up all the information I've learned and start steering people away. I'll provide some potential alternatives to iframes at the end of the post. About the IFrame Approach The use of iframes is very clever- by using a special windowing mode of the Flash Player as well as an iframe, you can layer HTML on top of a Flash application.
