ABSTRACT OF THE PROJECT
Phishpool.com(Antiphishing Site)
This site is a computerized, online solution to the various problems faced by internet users who are deceived by the phishers and lose their account information, security and data.
Overview of the Project
Phishpool is a web application developed to stop the cyber crime and to prevent users from cyber attacks. There are a number of sites called as phishing sites on internet which are used to leak the security and information of users like bank accounts, emails, social networking and number of frauds done by these sites. These sites provide users with the fake login pages to hack their accounts. So we have developed an antiphishing site which is a huge database to detect or search these sites.
PROFILE OF THE PROBLEM ASSIGNED
With the increased popularity of the internet, the phishing attacks are also growing over various reputed organizations and companies. Phishing is a way of attempting to acquire information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electric communication. Communications purporting to be from popular social web sites, auction sites, online payment processors or IT administrators are commonly used to lure the unsuspecting public. Phishing is typically carried out by e-mail spoofing or instant messaging, and it often directs users to enter details at a fake website whose look and feel are almost identical to the legitimate one. Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to deceive users, and exploits the poor usability of current web security technologies. Attempts to deal with the growing number of reported phishing incidents include legislation, user training, public awareness, and technical security measures.
In order to lure the victim into giving up sensitive information the message might include imperatives like "verify your account" or "confirm billing information". Once the victim had revealed the password, the attacker could access and use the victim's account for fraudulent purposes or spamming. Phishers are targeting the customers of banks and online payment services.
“Phishpool” is a web application to be developed in JAVA/ORACLE. The main concept of this is to aware the people with phishing attacks as well as to secure themselves. This web application has three modules for the management.
