Hello Everyone, i'm planning to do a project called Clicksafe .i've presented the abstract here.

Here is the full link to view the PDF of the topic: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sufian_Hameed/publication/261960174_Clicksafe_Providing_Security_against_Clickjacking_Attacks/links/55a82d1c08ae815a0421351e.pdf

Any idea of other projects such as this,so that i can refer to it and iam planning to do this project in asp.net and c#. Here is the abstract.

**Clicksafe, a browser-based tool to provide increased security and reliability against clickjacking attacks.Clicksafe is based on three major components. The detection unit detects malicious components in a webpage that redirect users to external links. The mitigation unit provides interception of user clicks and give educated warnings to users who can then choose to continue or not. Clicksafe also incorporate a feedback unit which records the user’s actions, converts them into ratings and allows future interactions to be more informed.Clicksafe is predominant from other similar tools as the detection and mitigation is based on a comprehensive framework which utilizes detection of malicious web components and incorporating user feedback.

Thanks.

If I understand correctly you plan to develop a browser extension (for several browsers?) using ASP.NET and C#?
You can not!!!

Unless you are a genius, and plan to give 100% of your life to this project for several years, I recommend you re-think this. What you describe entails enormous technical scope and depth.

For Chrome extensions, you will have to learn HTML/JavaScript/CSS and read all this: Getting Started: Building a Chrome Extension - Google Chrome[^]

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but... there are a couple of things wrong with your whole idea.
First off, development isn't about "referring to other projects" - particularly when as in this case there likely aren't any such except for existing ad blockers. It's about doing something yourself, not bolting together other people's code into a "new" whole.
Secondly, you can't write browser extensions in C#: the browser environment may not even be capable of running a .NET app without serious assistance from MONO or the like. And browser extensions aren't all the same: and IE extension won't work on Chrome, a Chrome extension won't work on Opera, and nothing at all will work on Edge!
Most browser extensions are written in javascript, HTML, and CSS - nothing is written in C#.
Even if we could provide you with "similar projects" you couldn't use them: you would be seriously in violation of copyright if you did.

Find a better project: all you have at the moment is a "press release" blurb without any actual code behind it.
