A method for detecting Web sites used for phishing, including preselecting one or more Web sites to be examined for duplication, selecting at least one or more elements that are present in the preselected Web site and that relate to characteristic identifying features of the preselected Web site, forming at least one search query using the one or more elements, and submitting the at least one search query to an indexed public search engine. The elements illustratively may be URL substrings, content identification substrings, or tree structure-related substrings. A report of Web sites using the selected one or more search terms is received from the public search engine in response to the query, and the preselected Web site is eliminated from the Web sites found in the search. The remaining Web sites retrieved in the search are further analyzed, by additional focused searching of the retrieved pages, by comparing header or tree structure information, or other techniques to compare them with the preselected Web site to identify unauthorized near-replicas of the known legitimate Web site for responsive action.

A method and apparatus for dynamically shifting between switching and routing packets efficiently to provide high packet throughput. The present invention provides a method for transmitting packets between an upstream node and a downstream node in a network that utilizes flow classification and labelling to redirect flows. The method includes the steps of establishing default virtual channels between the upstream node and the downstream node, receiving a packet at the downstream node, performing a flow classification at the downstream node on the packet to determine whether the packet belongs to a specified flow that should be redirected in the upstream node, selecting a free label at the downstream node, and informing the upstream node that future packets belonging to the specified flow should be sent with the selected free label attached. Other embodiments of the present invention include a basic switching unit, a switch gateway unit, and a switching agent for use in a system for transmitting packets in a network. Another embodiment includes system software, fixed on tangible media, that performs flow classification of packets to enable flow labelling and redirection to dynamically shift between Layer 3 IP packet routing and Layer 2 switching to optimize packet traffic throughput.
