Inspiration

   Recognizing that many internet users lack the tools and knowledge to identify online threats, you 
   aimed to create an accessible solution that empowers them to protect their data. This also helped 
   us all to furnish our skills in our respective domains.

What it does

  Website Blacklisting: Blocks access to a predefined list of malicious and phishing URLs.

Secure Link Verifier: Allows manual input of URLs to check for potential threats using the Google Safe Browsing API. Strong Password Generator: Creates customizable strong passwords with options for length, uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters. Interactive Warning Pages: Displays aesthetic, user-friendly, animated warning pages when visiting blocked sites. User Bypass Instructions: Provides subtle guidance on how to disable real-time scanning, ensuring informed user decisions.

How we built it

   We made it using the google safe browsing API for URL verification and virus total API for scanning 
  files through any suspicious elements. The website was made using  HTML and CSS and JS. The 
  password generator also has an intense code written in JS.

Challenges we ran into

   Integrating all the features along with the API without making the web extension slow was a major 
   challenge. Finding all the blacklisted websites to create our own database took much of an effort.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  Irrespective of the hardships we faced we evolved through it as a team. We are even happier that we 
 succeeded in making what we thought of and this could be of use to someone who would have been 
 the next target to such illegal mal practices.

What we learned

  We learned team work and the intense use of API's. We also learnt to include these API's into our project. Surfing and Browsing introduced us to many new things of the domains.

What's next for Web-Cyphr

The upcoming updates will guarantee the better functioning of the web extension. Soon we can expect integration of AI in the same to make this more user friendly and strive towards complete errorless detection.
