Crow's Nest is a domain aggregation system in which domain name registrations are watch and certain keywords are flagged. The flagged list of domains are then classified by their probability of being a phishing site and are monitored. When the site goes live, the domain is checked and if it is what we call a "Phingerling" the affected parties are notified and the site is shut down, hopefully before the phisher has a chance to make it live!
Crow's Nest has been development for about a month now and we hope to have something for people to view within the next couple of weeks. Check back soon.
