In the ever-evolving landscape of the digital world, ensuring the safety of your online activities is paramount. The @polkadotphishing project offers a curated list of potentially fraudulent websites along with a utility function that allows you to check any host against this list. In this article, we will walk you through how to utilize this resource effectively, how to contribute to it, and troubleshoot potential issues.
Getting Started with @polkadotphishing
To make use of the @polkadotphishing list, you’ll first want to familiarize yourself with the two main files: all.json and address.json. These files contain information regarding sites and addresses that can be flagged for phishing attempts.
How to Add New Sites and Addresses
Should you wish to contribute by adding a new site or scam address, follow these simple steps:
- To add new sites, navigate to the all.json file and add your entries (single or multiple) in the specified format.
- For adding scam addresses typically associated with a site, head over to address.json and place your entries under the relevant section keyed by the specific site.
Accessing and Integrating the Lists
Once additions are made, they will be reflected in the following URLs after merging:
These JSON files can be easily consumed through the @polkadotphishing package and other tools that can parse JSON.
Understanding the Integration Process
Integrating these lists into various wallets is designed to be straightforward. Consider it like inviting guests to a party:
- Your guests (the wallets) need a list of confirmed attendees (the safe addresses) to ensure only the right people can join your celebration.
- Instead of checking the list each time (the list of attendees), a copy is cached (saved) for a short period (45 minutes) to optimize the process.
- For address verification, not only does the system check the address, but it ensures that if someone tried to RSVP (or access) from different networks using the same keys, they wouldn’t need to re-check their invitation (i.e., a single entry suffices across networks).
