What is SpoofStick?
SpoofStick is a simple browser extension that helps users detect spoofed
(fake) websites. A spoofed website is typically made to look like a well
known, branded site (like ebay.com or citibank.com) with a slightly
different or confusing URL. The attacker then tries to trick people into
going to the spoofed site by sending out fake email messages or posting
links in public places - hoping that some percentage of users won't
notice the incorrect URL and give away important information. This
practice is sometimes known as “phishing".

SpoofStick makes it easier to spot a spoofed website by prominently
displaying only the most relevant domain information. It's not a
comprehensive solution, but it's a good start. 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%2
FeBayISAPI.dll%3FShowCoreAskSellerQuestion%26requested%
3Ddominicsmusic%26de%3Doff%26iid%3D3711129021%26frm
%3D284%26acceptcookie%3D0%26loginconfirmed%3D0%26re
direct%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://[email protected]/ (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.

SpoofStick contains no adware, spyware, nagware or other unhealthy
additives.
