  • Abstract
    Based on its daily use and volume of its applications -- both domestic and corporate environments -- it cannot be denied that Web Browsers are very important tools. However, due to the increase of its use, the web environment presents itself as an increasingly hostile place where people perform malicious cyber crimes aiming to steal or to tamper sensitive information of the web uses. These illegal activities are often performed by using social engineering techniques through web browser. To mitigate this problem, this paper proposes a tool which is capable to identify the fraud vectors focused on the privacy violation of the web browser users.
