Development of Browser Extensions to Protect against Phishing Attacks

Master's thesis is devoted to the development of software tools for the effective detection of phishing in the form of browser expansion. In the process of the first chapter of the study, a review was made of the existing techniques for phishing and how to protect against them. The second chapter presents the results of a comparative analysis of Google Chrome extensions with anti-phishing features. As part of this analysis, taking into account the identified strengths and weaknesses, the architecture and algorithm of the extension for the HSE AntiFish browser were developed. The third chapter demonstrates the expansion interface and shows the advantages of the technical characteristics of the expansion over the existing ones. As a result of the research, an algorithm and an extension have been developed that provide proactive protection against phishing by creating individual black and white lists both for an individual user and for a commercial organization.
