Webapp-level protection/detection of Pharming attacks

Hey List,

I'm in the final throws of pulling together a detailed paper about the
different pharming attack techniques.  Now, while it's mostly about DNS,
there are a number of methods and schemes that can be used at the webapp
server side (or webapp logic) to help customers discover whether they've hit
the real site or not.

I already have a number of methods I've developed to help out against the
different Phishing attacks, but I'd like to see if anyone else has some cool
ideas I havn't thought about that are worth while including in the paper.

If you're wondering about the structure of the paper, you can see my earlier
paper from last year about Phishing attacks for reference
(http://www.ngssoftware.com/papers/NISR-WP-Phishing.pdf).  This paper will
focus on the Pharming side of things (including the DNS attacks, "the New
DNS" of search engines, intermediary vector that can change host to IP
resolution such as proxies/WPAD/caches etc.).

So, if you've got some cool ideas - mainly those that can be implemented at
the server-side and would be applicable for retail or banking sites - let me
know (and the list of course!)

Cheers,

Gunter
