ECE1776F: Project Proposal: A Client-Side Browser-Integrated Solution for Detecting and Preventing Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Attacks

Our proposed work aims to create a client-side in-browser solution for mitigating cross-site scripting (XSS) and other attacks, which addresses concerns and shortcomings present in previous work. The solution will be implemented as an extension for the popular web browser FireFox; this extension will automatically detect possible instances of a cross-site scripting attack and prevent execution of malicious JavaScript code. We also proposed several additional features to help combat phishing, IDN domain name spoofing, and identifying possibly suspicious links.
