Different types of Web Spoofing Subdomain Spoofing Normal subdomain: http://subdomain.domain.com Tricking internet user that they are on the correct URL Make the URL long enough so that the user cannot see the entire URL And more… IP Address as URL, Email with HTML attached, Frameless Pop-up, and more…

How to detect a spoofed webpage URL (this is the easiest way to detect the attack!) Triple check the spelling of the URL Look for small differences such as a hyphen (-) or an underscore (e.g. suntrust.com vs. sun-trust.com) Mouse over message (careful: this can be spoofed too!) Beware of pages that use server scripting such as php these tools make it easy to obtain your information. Beware of javascripting as well. Beware of longer than average load times.

Signs that you may have been a victim If an unexpected error occurs, you may be a victim of web spoofing (sorry) (This relates to Dr. Burmester's example of the fake ATM's) If you have to click submit buttons repeatedly. (class example) If you have to enter your password repeatedly (class example) If there is any redirection to other webpages.
