Phishing attacks use email or malicious websites to get personal information by acting as a trustworthy organization. Users are tricked into disclosing their information either by providing it through a web form or by downloading and installing hostile software. The attacker can then use this information for identity theft or fraud. This paper proposes an antiphishing tool. Password protector is described as a browser extension tool, which transparently produces a different password to improve the security of passwords and defend against phishing. This tool appends some generated secret hash code to the original password that converts the original password into secure password.

Abstract


Phishing attacks use email or malicious websites to get personal information by acting as a trustworthy organization. Users are tricked into disclosing their information either by providing it through a web form or by downloading and installing hostile software. The attacker can then use this information for identity theft or fraud. This paper proposes an antiphishing tool. Password protector is described as a browser extension tool, which transparently produces a different password to improve the security of passwords and defend against phishing. This tool appends some generated secret hash code to the original password that converts the original password into secure password.
