Steam Sheriff

Steam Sheriff helps gamers using the Steam platform by checking URLs as they are visited to see if they are potentially impersonating a 'brand'. Malware/Phishing actors make websites that closely resemble a 'brand'. For example, the legitimate Steam website is www.steamcommunity.com. Phishers leverage 'homograph' attacks to trick you to clicking a URL that you think you trust. So, st3amcommunity.com or steamcomunity.com might look legitimate to a human, but very different for a computer. In order to detect these attacks, Steam Sheriff uses a combination of techniques to find out the 'similarity' of a target compared to a white list. This whitelist are common websites collected from feedback from the community that have also been used in attacks in the past. The list is as follows: 'gyazo.com', 'flickr.com', 'imgur.com', 'photobucket.com', 'tinypic.com', 'dota2lounge.com', 'csgolounge.com', 'steamcommunity.com', 'csgoticket.com', 'csgojackpot.com', 'csgoskins.net', 'mumble.info', 'teamspeak.com', 'raidcall.com', 'ventrilo.com' This list will be updated periodically as the tactics of the phishers change. **NOTE** There might be issues with steamcommunity and websites that use akamai where it wont load resources if its being loaded by content distribution networks (CDNs). If something breaks, please e-mail the contact e-mail listed on this extension page or the warning page. Features: - 'Real-time' detection of potential phishing websites - Option menu when a website is potentially bad - 'Continue Once' which allows the website to be visited for 5 minutes before Steam Sheriff alerts on it again - 'Continue & Whitelist' which adds the website to a user-defined whitelist if there is a false positive. This gets cleared if Chrome browser data is cleared - 'Get me out of here!' Redirect to google.com Upcoming Features: - Reporting mechanism - Configuration page to edit whitelists and blacklists Reporting: -If there is ever a false positive, you can report it to steamsheriff@gmail.com.
