E2Guardian
e2guardian is an Open Source web content filter, It filters the actual content of pages based on many methods including phrase matching, request header and URL filtering, etc. It does not purely filter based on a banned list of sites. For more info on E2Guardian visit there site at http://e2guardian.org/cms/
The Problem
There are many different malicious websites out there. Most email phishing scams will contain a malicious link. That malicious link most of the time is a copy of a website login page that will store your login information and then send you to the actual login page. Another malicious site might have links to download a file that is malicious.
The Solution
E2Guardian does not just filter website based off of a list of known malicious sites. E2Guardian uses many different methods to filter web content. Some of those methods are HTTPS transparent filtering, SSL inspection, DNS authentication, and limit POST size.
