To warn the browser's user (me, ATM) that the site they are visiting is spamvertised and/or a reported phishing site. Useful for those who do not have control over their mail server, especially if they're using webmail. Also a proof-of-concept of the "right way" to implement a phishing blacklist -- without sacrificing user privacy. -- Matthew.van.Eerde (at) hbinc.com 805.964.4554 x902 Hispanic Business Inc./HireDiversity.com Software Engineer

I agree with Raymond. It makes sense to use it in a company that mirrors the SURBL/URIBL data internaly. Then the proxy could cut down on lookups. I've have actually posted the request to the Firefox people for a plugin, a long time ago. Back when I was with SURBL. They were very interested, but I honestly haven't looked back into it since going to URIBL. But using the public resources would put a strain on the mirrors. (and most likely get the abusive IPs rejected from connecting any further.) The idea has merit, but the implimintation is tricky. --Chris

Indeed it is a CMU project, but it also was a comprimised machine that did spew a lot of spam. I'd assume it has been fixed by now, but the is just a (very likely) guess.

If load on the servers is a concern there are things that can be done: * Cache lookups for the duration of the session * Only look up the main document URL, not src= URLs * Allow a URL whitelist... bookmarked URLs * Skip lookups for HTTP servers on the local subnet or on My Computer etc. Ideas welcome. -- Matthew.van.Eerde (at) hbinc.com 805.964.4554 x902 Hispanic Business Inc./HireDiversity.com Software Engineer

browser plugin?
by Matthew.van.Eerde＠hbinc.com 13 Feb '06

13 Feb '06

The IE7 phishing "feature" raises my privacy hackles... after trying to go through official Microsoft channels, I'm not getting anywhere. So I'm considering writing a browser plugin that checks SURBL. Has anyone already done this? -- Matthew.van.Eerde (at) hbinc.com 805.964.4554 x902 Hispanic Business Inc./HireDiversity.com Software Engineer

Tom, I assume Raymond's comment was in jest. I know they appreciate donations, but I seriously doubt it is a requirement for speedy treatment. Of course, he'll correct me if I'm wrong.

Raymond, With that being said, what donation is enough to gain a timely response to rsync access? Additionally, what about those organizations that cannot and do not have access to PayPal to send a donation?
