New Phishing Tactics: Antibrates Evade Google Warnings

Recent developments in the Darknet have unveiled new anti-brates that aid cybercriminals in circumventing Google Safe Browsing Protection. This advancement marks a new phase in the ongoing battle between hackers and cybersecurity experts.

The emergence of PHISHING-AA-SERVICE (PHAAS) platforms has made phishing attacks more accessible, enabling even novices to conduct large-scale campaigns. However, a key challenge lies in evading detection by security systems like Urlscan and Google Safe Browsing.

Google’s “red page” serves as a warning to users about potential threats, significantly reducing the success rate of phishing attacks. Nevertheless, new anti-brates like OTUS Anti-Bot, Remove Red, and Limitless Anti-Bot have been developed to bypass this protection, prolonging the lifespan of malicious websites.

OTUS Anti-Bot offers rapid configuration and behavioral analysis, thwarting blacklisting of pages. One key benefit of this service is the seamless application of updates without the need for code reinstallation.

On the other hand, Remove Red primarily focuses on eliminating Red Page warnings and provides a temporary white space that shields the website from bans for a few days. Additionally, it alerts users through platforms like Telegram and Discord in case of repeated bans.

Limitless Anti-Bot stands out for its utilization of artificial intelligence and traffic filtering based on geolocation and Internet service provider data. By distinguishing between genuine visits and automated scanning, it reduces the risk of detection of phishing pages.

These anti-brate services incorporate IP address filtering techniques, content obfuscation, and Captcha to conceal phishing pages from scanners and thwart unwanted bots, ensuring access only for the intended audience.

While these technologies effectively evade basic detection systems, more sophisticated attacks eventually come under scrutiny from specialists and are added to block lists. The emergence of new anti-brates poses a significant threat to users, prompting cybersecurity professionals to modify their defense strategies to counter this menace.
