Effective Protection Against Phishing and Web Spoofing

چکیده
Phishing and Web spoofing have proliferated and become a major nuisance on the Internet. The attacks are difficult to protect against, mainly because they target non-cryptographic components, such as the user or the user-browser interface. This means that cryptographic security protocols, such as the SSL/TLS protocol, do not provide a complete solution to tackle the attacks and must be complemented by additional protection mechanisms. In this paper, we summarize, discuss, and evaluate the effectiveness of such mechanisms against (large-scale) phishing and Web spoofing attacks.

The pilot spoofing attack is one kind of active eavesdropping activities conducted by a malicious user during the channel training phase. By transmitting the identical pilot (training) signals as those of the legal users, such an attack is able to manipulate the channel estimation outcome, which may result in a larger channel rate for the adversary but a smaller channel rate for the legitimate ...

We present the results of the first long-term user study of site-based login mechanisms which force and train users to login safely. We found that interactive site-identifying images received 70% detection rates, which is significantly better than passive indicators’ results [16, 9, 13]. We also found that login bookmarks, when used together with ‘non-working’ links, doubled the prevention rate...

Phishing is a form of electronic identity theft in which a combination of social engineering and web site spoofing techniques are used to trick a user into revealing confidential information with economic value. The problem of social engineering attack is that there is no single solution to eliminate it completely, since it deals largely with the human factor. This is why implementing empirical...
