Web criminals doing an internet scam through Phished Websites harms the user’s confidentiality. Attackers spoof the data by mimicking the original Websites using DNS hijacking. Recently attackers are deceiving customers financially in banks or to their confidential data; one of the broadly used attack is internet attack. Domain Name System (DNS) cache poisoning is a stepping stone towards advanced (cyber) attacks. Also phishing attack which provides web links or form and Asks for confidential information such as password, account details.An essential part of the internet on whose many other protocol rely is the Domain Name System (DNS). DNS allows hosts on the network to make updates to DNS records dynamically, without the need for restarting the DNS service. Server gets User’s passwords, credit card numbers and any of their confidential details by directly redirecting the user to a fake server.This survey is done in order to prevent the DNS server from DNS hijacking with efficient algorithm. The algorithm included in this survey increases the security of url request from the attacker. This can be done by encrypting the url request by the user at client side using RSA 1024 public key encryption and exactly double its encrypted security by appending bits generated from pseudo random generator at client side and encrypted data sent to server side and here also states various phishing attacks and their problems and establish a problem statement for finding the optimum solution for the problem arises.
