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
