WoT

WoT, or Web of Trust, is a web security system designed to protect users from unsolicited content such as malware, phishing attacks, and fake websites. WoT works by leveraging its global network of users to rate the trustworthiness of websites. It inspects a website’s content as well as the comments and feedback that users have left on the site before giving it a trust rating.

WoT is based on a crowdsourcing system, which means that all users can rate the websites they visit. This creates a distributed trust network from which users can assess the trustworthiness of a website. Based on the ratings given, the WoT system will assign a trust level to each website.

If a user has doubts about a particular website, WoT can help them decide whether or not to visit the site. It also warns users if a site is considered to be malicious.

WoT is becoming an increasingly popular security system due to its ability to provide users with real-time feedback on website trustworthiness. It is used by both individuals and businesses to protect themselves from malicious actors and content.
