PhishNet

Inspiration

To protect general users from internet safety risks. Phishing is extremely common, we wanted to provide something that is as user-friendly as possible so that no one can ever be harmed in the future from this activity.

What it does

It uses an authentication system allowing the user to log in with a pop-up Chrome extension to alert them on real-time phishing attempts being warded off.

How we built it

We built it on Visual code using Dart, flutter, javascript, HTML, and CSS.

Challenges we ran into

API limits, as we can only make a certain amount of requests in a given time frame. Obtaining the HIBP API to correctly pull breached information.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Software issues on all of our different machines are being handled. Being able to create a Chrome extension with outdated documentation. And much more.

What we learned

We learned that phishing is one of the most common ways to acquire information about others. We learned about the time taken from websites to give access to their information.
