WiseShield - Phishing Protection by Harsh Singh

WiseShield: Advanced AI-Powered Phishing Protection
WiseShield is a sophisticated browser extension designed to provide real-time protection against the ever-evolving landscape of phishing attacks and credential harvesting. In an era where malicious actors frequently bypass traditional security tools through sophisticated social engineering and rapidly changing domains, WiseShield offers a dynamic, multi-layered detection engine that evaluates every URL and webpage content the moment it is accessed.
At the heart of WiseShield's effectiveness is its unique hybrid analysis model. This approach intelligently distributes its defensive logic: 40% relies on heuristic analysis—meticulously identifying suspicious patterns like excessive URL length, unusual subdomain depths, and the presence of sensitive keyword combinations often associated with fraud. The remaining 60% of the detection power is driven by an advanced Machine Learning classification service. This AI component analyzes the linguistic and structural intent of a URL, enabling the system to catch "zero-day" phishing sites that have not yet been added to global blocklists.

Key features include proactive form protection, which flags credential-harvesting fields on untrusted pages, and a dedicated "Explainable Security" interface. This transparency ensures that when a site is flagged, users are provided with a clear breakdown of the specific risk factors involved, rather than just a generic block screen. This educational approach helps foster better security habits and situational awareness over time.
Built on a robust architecture featuring a high-performance AI inference service and a secure backend gateway, WiseShield maintains a strict privacy-first philosophy, analyzing URLs only for security purposes. By integrating intelligence directly into the browsing experience, it provides an essential, state-of-the-art safety layer for the modern internet.
