Netcraft tool bar

As of 1st January 2009, the Netcraft Toolbar community has blocked 1.9 million phishing attacks. To provide an incentive for the community to send us reports of phishing sites, reporters now receive the following goodies from Netcraft: Netcraft Mug(after 100 validated phishing reports)Netcraft Polo Shirt(after 400)Targus Laptop Backpack(after 1,000)Top of the range iPod(after 4,000) To report phishing sites to us, use the form at Upon reaching 4,000 you become eligible for a monthly competition to incentivise large reporters. To track the progress, we have a leaderboard displaying the people with the largest number of accepted reports so far this month, identified by their first names to preserve their anonymity. The Netcraft Toolbar, which is available for both Internet Explorer and Firefox, serves as a giant neighborhood watch scheme for the Internet: members who encounter a phishing fraud can act to defend the larger community of users against the attack. Once the first recipients of a phishing mail have reported the target URL, it is blocked for toolbar users who subsequently access the URL and widely disseminated attacks simply mean that the phishing attack will be reported and blocked sooner. Looking back at 2008, Netcraft has seen phishing attacks evolve, with fraudsters using progressively sneakier tactics: October 2008 saw an attack against Yahoo! which was used to steal authentication cookies from its users. The cross-site scripting vulnerability on Yahoo!’s own website allowed the fraudster to steal the details simply as a result of a victim visiting the page. The two-edged nature of how browsers present Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates was highlighted after a cross-site scripting vulnerability was demonstrated on paypal.com. This flaw would have allowed hackers to carry out highly plausible attacks, adding their own content to the site and stealing credentials from users. Phishers branched out into telephone phishing. Victims were asked to phone a toll free number to reactivate their card. Fraudsters found a cross-site scripting vulnerability on an Italian bank’s website. This was used to orchestrate an attack against the bank, using its own HTTPS website URL. Backdoored phishing kits have been deployed by criminal programmers wishing to reduce their workload by getting novice fraudsters to deploy the kits onto websites and send the phishing emails. Netcraft later reported a large range of different phishing kits being offered by the same group.

Organization that tracks known phishing web sites.[8]This feature was further improved and expanded in version 9.5, when GeoTrust was replaced with Netcraft, and malware protection from Haute Secure was added.[9]Also in 2006, editions of Opera were made and released for Nintendo's DS and Wii gaming systems.[10][11][12][13] Opera for the Wii, called the Internet Channel, was free to download from its release on April 12, 2007[14] until June 30, 2007. After June 30, Wii users had to pay 500 Wii Points (about US$5[15]) to download it.[16] The Nintendo DS Browser is likewise not free; it is sold as a physical DS game cartridge.[17]Features[]Main article: Features of the Opera web browserTemplate:SeealsoThe Opera Software company claims that Opera is "the fastest browser on Earth."[18] Third-party speed tests showed that Opera 9.01 performed faster than any other browser in four out of seven speed tests on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X and three out of seven on Linux. Its strongest point by far was JavaScript execution, performing about twice as fast as the other browsers.[19]Opera includes built-in tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, fraud protection, a download manager and BitTorrent client, a search bar, and a web feed aggregator. Opera also comes with an e-mail client called Opera Mail and an IRC chat client built in.[20]Opera includes a "Speed Dial" feature, which allows the user to add up to nine links to the page displayed when a new tab is opened. Thumbnails of the linked pages are automatically generated and used for visual recognition on

Although it lacks many of the bells and whistles of open-source rival and leader, Apache, Xitami offers a small memory footprint and fast raw speed.Xitami (pronounced Shi-tami or Ksi-tami, with emphasis on the second syllable in either case) is a Web server. It is free. For some organizations, this is enough information because for some applications, free is good enough. Of course, the Apache Web server, the veritable torch-bearer of the open-source software movement, is also free. Apache is also much more popular. Two Web servers dominate much of the wild Web today — the free, open-source Apache, which according to the monthly Netcraft survey has a fairly constant 65-plus-percent share, and the nonfree Microsoft IIS, which captures about 20 percent of the market according to Netcraft. Sure, there are other Web servers living out there in the forest, and you occasionally even run across one of them, like you might a possum, but Apache and IIS clearly have the lion’s share of installations.To break it down further, ServerWatch is powered by Apache. Fleet Bank is powered by IIS. In general, organizations run by individuals wearing neckties run IIS, whereas organizations run by individuals who don’t own neckties run Apache. Port80 Software, an IIS tools vendor, conducts a monthly survey, the results of which support these assumptions. The latest study found almost 54 percent Fortune 1000 Web servers running IIS and a scant 15 percent running Apache.The world of Web servers is divided along free and commercial lines for good reasons. If you run a commercial Web

2005, the ads were completely removed, and the browser's primary financial support came through revenue from Google (by contract, Opera's default search engine).[30]Among new features introduced in version 9.1, released in 2006, was fraud protection using technology from GeoTrust, a digital certificate provider, and PhishTank, an organization that tracks known phishing web sites.[31] This feature was further expanded in version 9.5, when GeoTrust was replaced with Netcraft, and malware protection from Haute Secure was added.[32]In 2006, Opera Software ASA was released as well as Nintendo DS Browser and Internet Channel for Nintendo's DS and Wii gaming systems, respectively, which were Opera-based browsers.[33][34][35][36]A new JavaScript engine, called Carakan (after the Javanese alphabet), was introduced with version 10.50.[37] According to Opera Software, it made Opera 10.50 more than seven times faster in SunSpider than Opera 10.10.[38][39][40]On 16 December 2010, Opera 11 was released, featuring extensions,[41] tab stacking (where dragging one tab over another allowed creating a group of tabs), visual mouse gestures and changes to the address bar.[42] Opera 12 was released on 14 June 2012.[43]On 12 February 2013, Opera Software announced that it would drop its own Presto layout engine in favor of WebKit as implemented by Google's Chrome browser, using code from the Chromium project. Opera Software planned as well to contribute code to WebKit.[44] On 3 April 2013, Google announced it would fork components from WebKit to form a new layout engine, Blink. That day, Opera Software confirmed it would follow Google in implementing Blink.[45]On 28 May 2013, a beta release of Opera 15 was made available,[46] the first version based on the Chromium project.[47][48] Many distinctive Opera features of the previous versions were dropped, and Opera Mail was separated into a standalone application derived from Opera 12.[49]In 2016, Opera was acquired by an investment group led by a Chinese consortium, the consortium included several Chinese companies such as Kunlun Tech and Qihoo 360. On July 27, 2018, Opera Software went public on the NASDAQ stock exchange, raising $115 million in its initial public offering.[50] Opera began repurchasing its shares in 2022 following the closure of 360 Security Technology Inc. that year.[51][52]In January 2017, the source code of Opera 12.15, one of the last few versions still based on the Presto layout engine, was leaked.[53]To demonstrate how radically different a browser could look, Opera Neon, dubbed a "concept browser", was released in January 2017.
