Phishing Detection Applications for Website and Domain at Browser using Virustototal API

The purpose of this research is to create a browser extension-based application that can detect malicious sites to minimize phishing attacks. The research method used is to conduct a literature study and collect data from the questionnaire results. Research testing methods are blackbox testing, performance testing using 100 URL with precision and recall method, and comparison between two other simillar applications. The results of this study indicate that this application has good functionality and can reduce phishing attacks on users. The conclusion that can be drawn from this research is that the malicious site detection feature in browser extensions can enhance user protection from phishing attacks

A Comparison of the NHTSA Research Offset Oblique and Small Overlap Impact Tests and the IIHS Moderate and Small Overlap Tests

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) have both developed crash test methodologies to address frontal collisions in which the vehicle's primary front structure is either partially engaged or not engaged at all. IIHS addresses Small Overlap crashes, cases in which the vehicle's primary front energy absorbing structure is not engaged, using a rigid static barrier with an overlap of 25% of the vehicle's width at an impact angle of 0°. The Institute's Moderate Overlap partially engages the vehicle's primary front energy absorbing structure using a deformable static barrier with 40% overlap at a 0° impact angle. The NHTSA has developed two research test methods which use a common moving deformable barrier impacting the vehicle with 20% overlap at a 7° impact angle and 35% overlap at a 15° impact angle respectively. In this paper, the authors present a case study in which an exemplar mid-size sedan was subjected to all four impact conditions. Following the NHTSA research procedures and IIHS protocols, the anthropomorphic test devices used in this study were THOR-NT (with LX instrumented lower legs) for the NHTSA research tests, and the Hybrid III AM50 for the IIHS tests. Differences with regards to resulting vehicle deformation, vehicle kinematics, and occupant kinematics were noted between the IIHS and NHTSA test methods and are discussed in this paper. Language: en
