Hi everyone!
Introducing Nighthawk
Nighthawk is a privacy-focused browser extension designed to provide safe browsing in the Web3 space. Completely open-source and serverless, Nighthawk ensures user privacy by handling all activity within the browser itself, without storing browsing history or compromising data. It offers comprehensive protection against phishing threats, including suspicious URLs and social media phishing on platforms like X, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Users can also notify our analyst team directly of any suspicious activity, with new threats added to the Phishfort blocklist.
We’ve successfully developed a robust rule-based engine to protect users within the Polkadot ecosystem and other crypto platforms. This framework allows for precise rule management, ensuring real-time phishing detection and prevention. The project is part of Polkadot's Referenda #574, and we’re now seeking additional funding for our next initiative.
Our next initiative focuses on creating an automated pipeline that leverages a Large Language Model (LLM) to generate anti-phishing rules in real-time. This innovation will reduce the time it takes to detect new threats and provide immediate protection to users. Our project goals include:
Phishing is an ever-present threat in the crypto space, with millions of dollars lost to scams. Nighthawk aims to become an essential tool for every crypto user, whether seasoned or new. With high engagement from the Polkadot community, we believe this initiative will help address the growing phishing problem and protect user assets.
The final deliverable will be a LLM-based rule generation engine, offering real-time protection and setting a new standard in phishing prevention.
Our team consists of engineers, a research engineer, a phishing analyst, and a project manager. The project has a $100,000 budget and is set to be completed within 10-12 months, covering development, testing, and deployment.

We look forward to protecting the crypto community from phishing threats and continuing to evolve Nighthawk as the go-to solution for Web3 security!

Nighthawk is a privacy-focused browser extension that helps keep you safe while browsing the internet, especially in the Web3 space. It is open-source and serverless, which means it keeps your information private and doesn't store your browsing history. Nighthawk protects you from phishing, which are tricks to steal your information, on websites like X, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn. You can also tell the Nighthawk team if you find anything suspicious, and they will add it to their blocklist.
Recently, Nighthawk made a rule-based engine to protect users in the Polkadot ecosystem and other crypto platforms. They are now working on a new project that uses a Large Language Model (LLM) to create anti-phishing rules in real-time. This will help find new threats faster and protect users right away. Nighthawk's goals are to prevent asset loss and detect new phishing kits as they appear.
Phishing is a big problem in the crypto world, and Nighthawk wants to help protect everyone, whether they are new or experienced. They are working on an automated system that uses LLM to generate and test rules for new phishing threats. They also plan to fine-tune the LLM to detect new phishing tactics.
The Nighthawk team has engineers, a research engineer, a phishing analyst, and a project manager. They have a budget of $100,000 and plan to finish the project in 10-12 months. You can find more information about Nighthawk on their GitHub page.
