Description

This one, combined with #12 , is a really big one. Replace the current DOM content with the contents of another page and change the URL bar's contents and favicon. That way, you can replace the contents of '/dash' with the contents of '/login' and capture the resulting keystrokes. This is why XSS still rules.

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #12 and the linked XSS-Harvest example, then trace how the /dash and /login pages are served. Done means the requested page replacement, URL-bar and favicon changes, and keystroke capture work together as described.
