This project report discusses the development of an antiphishing website called Phishpool. Phishing is a growing problem where fraudulent websites trick users into entering private login and financial information.

The project aims to increase awareness of phishing attacks and help secure users from this cybercrime. It will have three modules for management of the antiphishing site and database. The website is being developed in Java/Oracle to address the serious issue of phishing and protect internet users.

2. Acknowledgement
A project is a major milestone during the study period of a student. When
I started planning for this project, I thought that it takes just a lot of
reference material and secretarial assistance to make a project. But to my
surprise, I found that making a project is, in fact, a collective effort based
on contributions of many-known and unknown. The list of such persons is
long and their contributions have come without the desire for any return.
So, it is my pleasure to take this opportunity to thank all those people who
have helped me directly or indirectly in preparation of this project. The
making of a project of this nature, particularly in a class where not much
exposure to software development is there would not have been possible
without consulting many projects of other project makers. I am indebted
to all of them.
I feel honored to express my sincere gratitude to Mr.Sher
Singh, his constant encouragement and co-operation have been a source
of everlasting inspiration for me in doing my project “Phishpool”. They
treated me not only as a professor but also as a friend, as a project mate. I
would also like to thank all those professors of our department to whom I
have consulted, even for smallest thing, during the project.

4. 1. ABSTRACT OF THE PROJECT
Phishpool.com(Antiphishing Site)
This site is a computerized, online solution to the various problems faced by
internet users who are deceived by the phishers and lose their account information,
security and data.
Overview of the Project
Phishpool is a web application developed to stop the cyber crime and to prevent
users from cyber attacks. There are a number of sites called as phishing sites on
internet which are used to leak the security and information of users like bank
accounts, emails, social networking and number of frauds done by these sites.
These sites provide users with the fake login pages to hack their accounts. So we
have developed an antiphishing site which is a huge database to detect or search
these sites.
2. PROFILE OF THE PROBLEM ASSIGNED
5. With the increased popularity of the internet, the phishing
attacks are also growing over various reputed organizations and companies.
Phishing is a way of attempting to acquire information such as usernames,
passwords, and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an
electric communication. Communications purporting to be from popular social
web sites, auction sites, online payment processors or IT administrators are
commonly used to lure the unsuspecting public. Phishing is typically carried out by
e-mail spoofing or instant messaging, and it often directs users to enter details at a
fake website whose look and feel are almost identical to the legitimate one.
Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to deceive users, and
exploits the poor usability of current web security technologies. Attempts to deal
with the growing number of reported phishing incidents include legislation, user
training, public awareness, and technical security measures.
In order to lure the victim into giving up sensitive information the message might
include imperatives like "verify your account" or "confirm billing information".
Once the victim had revealed the password, the attacker could access and use the
victim's account for fraudulent purposes or spamming. Phishers are targeting the
customers of banks and online payment services.
“Phishpool” is a web application to be developed in JAVA/ORACLE. The main
concept of this is to aware the people with phishing attacks as well as to secure
themselves. This web application has three modules for the management.
