Abstract: In this era of information system where information is highly regarded, never the less, the information obtaining involves human interactions both physically and electronically. People often browse the Internetthrough browserandthey mightcomeacross the attack known as phishing. As the technology and human creativity evolved, various methods also have been deployed to assist the phishing attack. One of the miscalled Tabnabbing attack by Rask in. Users used to browse using many tabs and may fall to Tabnabbing attack. The main goal of this project is to develop a solution for Tabnabbing attack in a form of web browser extension with the capability to detect and prevent user from falling for the attack. The project will cover only Google Chrome Browser and the prototype is developed by using JavaScript programming language, HTML and CSS. The prototype, named CTabs, implements the algorithm that captures the highlighted tab, comparing its screen shots of before and after the tab is switched, highlighting the differences and notify user through pop outs. As for the testing results, out of 4 tests, CTabs managed to pass all of them, detecting all of the Tabnabbing attack attempts. In short, CTabs managed to achieve the project objectives after the testing have been done.
