Identity Theft Protection Idea

[Revant Jain]

Hello I want to know what language would be best to read the data that comes into a internet browser and a language that has strong pattern matching features. Any help wold be apprecaited. Basically supose a person goes to a site that is a replica of an actual site, the site asks for his personal information, I want to show a alert. So I need to read the data on the site, use my pattern matching algorithm so I can say if it is fake or not. How can I do it? Thanks

How are you going to know if the user is going to a real site or not? What are you going to match this "pattern" against? What's the difference between a real site page that asks for personal information, like a registration page, and a fake site page that asks the same thing? How are you going to know which sites are real and which are fake, WITHOUT knowing anything about the real site? Since there are thousands of potential sites that can be copied, and they change their sites from time to time, you can't possibly supply the information to match anything against.
