[TrustBar] Test-drive TrustBar open source anti-spoofing/phishing tool

[trustbar at mozdev.org]

TrustBar (http://TrustBar.MozDev.org) is a Mozilla extension that 
appears as a bar at the top of every Mozilla browser window, containing 
site identification by name/logo of the site's owner and of the 
certifying authority (the entity that identified that owner of the 
site), or a warning `This site is not protected` for unprotected sites 
(where TrustBar cannot securely identify the owner). This should help 
protect users against spoofing and phishing attacks, which usually use 
unprotected sites which appear like the correct login sites.

We have been using our prototype personally for some time and it seems 
to work well on several platforms, so we now want to offer it to 
experienced, security-aware users, for feedback and improvements; our 
development is open code so you can also take our code as basis to your 
own design. Download and see more info at http://TrustBar.MozDev.org.
