Spoofstick: Checks for the Fake or Fraudulent site

Spoofstick is a web browser extension helps users to identify spoofed (fake or fraudulent) websites. It detects spoofed sites by prominently displaying the most relevant information. Extensions are available for IE and Firefox individually.

“For example, if you’re on the following URL (this is a real, legitimate ebay url):

http://signin.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?
SignIn&UsingSSL=0&pUserId=&ru=http%3A%2F%
2Fcontact.ebay.com%2Fws1%2FeBayISAPI.dll%
3FShowCoreAskSellerQuestion%26requested%
3Ddominicsmusic%26de%3Doff%26iid%
3D3711129021%26frm%3D284%26acceptcookie%
3D0%26loginconfirmed%3D0%26redirect%3D0%
26pass%3D%7B_pass_%7D%26userid%3D&pp=p
ass&co_partnerid=2&pageType=711"

Spoofstick will say: “You’re on ebay.com”.

If you get fooled by going to a spoofed site, for example http://signin.ebay.com@10.19.32.4/ (a “spoof” example used by ebay in their customer outreach),

Spoofstick will say: “You’re on 10.19.32.4″

You can customize the color and size of the SpoofStick display to suit your tastes and make it harder for a fake site to try to “spoof” SpoofStick with a static graphic.”   Source : www.spoofstick.com
