PhishTank bookmarklets start to appear

Bookmarklets are browser bookmarks with a bit of extra functionality mixed in, usually via Javascript.
In response to my request on Friday for a PhishTank bookmarklet, two folks stepped up already, bouncing blog posts and comments back and forth.
Amit Chakradeo started by creating a Firefox 2.0 bookmarklet. Till saw Amit’s comment, and then went to work on his own PhishTank bookmarklet, which works in Firefox, Safari, and Opera (at least). Till also commented on Amit’s blog, pointing out his extra step.
Nice collaboration!
ps - On a semi-related note, I should point out that the Firefox extension PhishTank SiteChecker has a new home due to some bandwidth issues on MASA’s site.
Leave a response below, or send a trackback from your own site.

Just wanted to point out that the correct URL of the blog entry is:
http://blog.klimpong.de/archives/2006/11/phishtank_bookmarklet.html
No idea why MT started changing it when I updated the post.
