  3. What is Web Spoofing • Pretending to be a legitimate site • Attacker creates convincing but false copy of the site • Stealing personal information such as login ID, password, credit card, bank account, and much more. aka Phishing attack • False Web looks and feels like the real one • Attacker controls the false web by surveillance • Modifying integrity of the data from the victims

  5. Different types of Web Spoofing • DNS server spoofing attack • One of the most complex types of attack • Alter a domain name to point to different IP address • Redirect to a different server hosting a spoofed site

  6. Different types of Web Spoofing • Content theft • A copy of a site can be created from the original by saving all the publicly accessible pages, images, and scripts from a site to another server. (Miguel’s Demo) • Can be done automated by using programs called “spiders”

  7. Different types of Web Spoofing • Subdomain Spoofing • Normal subdomain: http://subdomain.domain.com • Tricking internet user that they are on the correct URL • Make the URL long enough so that the user cannot see the entire URL • And more… • IP Address as URL, Email with HTML attached, Frameless Pop-up, and more…

  8. How to detect a spoofed webpage • URL (this is the easiest way to detect the attack!) • Triple check the spelling of the URL • Look for small differences such as a hyphen (-) or an underscore (e.g. suntrust.com vs. sun-trust.com) • Mouse over message (careful: this can be spoofed too!) • Beware of pages that use server scripting such as php these tools make it easy to obtain your information. • Beware of javascripting as well. • Beware of longer than average load times.

  9. Signs that you may have been a victim • If an unexpected error occurs, you may be a victim of web spoofing (sorry) (This relates to Dr. Burmester's example of the fake ATM's) • If you have to click submit buttons repeatedly. (class example) • If you have to enter your password repeatedly (class example) • If there is any redirection to other webpages.

  10. Stats of Web Spoofing • Web spoofing is increasing at a rapid pace • According to a study by Gartner Research • Two million users gave such information to spoofed web sites. • About $1.2 billion direct losses to U.S. Bank and credit card issuers in 2003 • And about $400 million to $1 billion losses from the victims • Archives of reported scams • http://www.millersmiles.co.uk/archives.php
