What is SpoofStick?
SpoofStick is a simple browser extension that helps users detect spoofed (fake) websites. A spoofed website is typically made to look like a well known, branded site (like ebay.com or citibank.com) with a slightly different or confusing URL. The attacker then tries to trick people into going to the spoofed site by sending out fake email messages or posting links in public places - hoping that some percentage of users won't notice the incorrect URL and give away important information. This practice is sometimes known as “phishing"

Spoofstick will say: "You're on ebay.com".
If you get fooled by going to a spoofed site, for example ht//tp://**signin.ebay.com@10.19.32.4/ (a "spoof" example used by ebay in their customer outreach),
Spoofstick will say: "You're on 10.19.32.4"
