The problem FishNet solves

We know how devastating it can be to have your personal information compromised. That's why we created this extension - to help protect others from getting scammed.

With this extension installed in your Chrome browser, you can rest easy knowing that any suspicious websites you come across will be flagged and blocked. Our advanced algorithm analyzes each website's characteristics and compares it to known phishing tactics to determine if it's a threat.

Not only does this extension protect you from phishing attempts, but it also gives you peace of mind when browsing the web. No longer do you have to worry about accidentally giving away your sensitive information to scammers.

Challenges we ran into

There were several challenges we faced during the hack, such as:

1. Limited access to browser APIs
2. Adding all parameters that the ML model will take into consideration while detecting if the website is a phishing website or not
3. And lastly, this is an ML model, which obviously means it is never complete, and is always in the process of evolving and becoming better, and is prone to making mistakes.
