Chrome extension to detect malicious websites

The problem Sahi Hai solves

Every other website in today's day and age on the internet wants to collect data of its users by tricking them into giving away their credentials for fraud or many such vindictive acts. Naive users using a browser have no idea about the backend of the page. The users might be tricked into giving away their credentials or downloading malicious data.

We aim to create an extension for Chrome that will act as middleware between the users and the malicious websites and relieve users of giving away to such websites.

Challenges we ran into

  • Extracting features such as IP Address, WHOIS Information, URL shortening service, Multiple Subdomain, SSL final state, Google Index, Web Traffic, DNS Record, etc from a website was an uphill to climb.
  • It was challenging to integrate ML model with Javascript .
  • It took time to handle deprication warning when we were making POST request using xhr.
