In spite of the development of aversion strategies, phishing remains an essential risk even after the
primary countermeasures and in view of receptive URL blacklisting. This strategy is insufficient because of the
short lifetime of phishing websites. In order to overcome this problem, developing a real-time phishing website
detection method is an effective solution. This research introduces the PrePhish algorithm which is an automated
machine learning approach to analyze phishing and non-phishing URL to produce reliable result. It represents that
phishing URLs typically have couple of connections between the part of the registered domain level and the path
or query level URL. Using these connections URL is characterized by inter-relatedness and it estimates using
features mined from attributes. These features are then used in machine learning technique to detect phishing
URLs from a real dataset. The classification of phishing and non-phishing website has been implemented by
finding the range value and threshold value for each attribute using decision making classification. This method is
also evaluated in Matlab using three major classifiers SVM, Random Forest and Naive Bayes to find how it works
on the dataset assessed
A Hybrid Approach For Phishing Website Detection Using Machine Learning.vivatechijri
In this technical age there are many ways where an attacker can get access to people’s sensitive information illegitimately. One of the ways is Phishing, Phishing is an activity of misleading people into giving their sensitive information on fraud websites that lookalike to the real website. The phishers aim is to steal personal information, bank details etc. Day by day it’s getting more and more risky to enter your personal information on websites fearing that it might be a phishing attack and can steal your sensitive information. That’s why phishing website detection is necessary to alert the user and block the website. An automated detection of phishing attack is necessary one of which is machine learning. Machine Learning is one of the efficient techniques to detect phishing attack as it removes drawback of existing approaches. Efficient machine learning model with content based approach proves very effective to detect phishing websites.
Our proposed system uses Hybrid approach which combines machine learning based method and content based method. The URL based features will be extracted and passed to machine learning model and in content based approach, TF-IDF algorithm will detect a phishing website by using the top keywords of a web page. This hybrid approach is used to achieve highly efficient result. Finally, our system will notify and alert user if the website is Phishing or Legitimate.

PDMLP: PHISHING DETECTION USING MULTILAYER PERCEPTRONIJNSA Journal
A phishing website is a significant problem on the internet. It’s one of the Cyber-attack types where attackers try to obtain sensitive information such as username and password or credit card information. The recent growth in deploying a Detection phishing URL system on many websites has resulted in a massive amount of available data to predict phishing websites. In this paper, we purpose a new method to develop a phishing detection system called phishing detection based on a multilayer perceptron (PDMLP), which used on two types of datasets. The performance of these mechanisms evaluated in terms of Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F-measure. Results showed that PDMLP provides better performance in comparison to KNN, SVM, C4.5 Decision Tree, RF, and RoF to classifiers.
State of the Art Analysis Approach for Identification of the Malignant URLsIOSRjournaljce
Malicious URLs have been universally used to ascend various cyber attacks including spamming, phishing and malware. Malware, short term for malicious software, is software which is developed to penetrate computers in a network without the user’s permission or notification. Existing methods typically detect malicious URLs of a single attack type. Hence such detection systems are failed to protect the users from various attacks. Malware spreading widely throughout the area of network as consequence of this it becomes predicament in distributed computer and network systems. Malicious links are the place of origin of all attacks which circulated all over the web. Hence malicious URLs should be detected for the prevention of users from these malware attacks. In this paper we described a novel approach which analyze all types of attacks by identifying malicious URLs and secure the web users from them. This technique prevents the users from malignant URLs before visiting them. Therefore efficiency of web security gets maintained. For such anatomization we developed an analyzer which identifies URLs and examine as malicious or benign. We also developed five processes which crawl for suspicious URLs. This approach will prevent the users from all types of attacks and increase efficiency of web crawling phase.
MALICIOUS URL DETECTION USING CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKijcseit
The World Wide Web has become an important part of our everyday life for information communication
and knowledge dissemination. It helps to transact information timely, rapidly and easily. Identifying theft
and identity fraud are referred as two sides of cyber-crime in which hackers and malicious users obtain the
personal data of existing legitimate users to attempt fraud or deception motivation for financial gain.
Malicious URLs host unsolicited content (spam, phishing, drive-by exploits, etc.) and lure unsuspecting
users to become victims of scams (monetary loss, theft of private information, and malware installation),
and cause losses of billions of dollars every year. To detect such crimes systems should be fast and precise
with the ability to detect new malicious content. Traditionally, this detection is done mostly through the
usage of blacklists. However, blacklists cannot be exhaustive, and lack the ability to detect newly generated
malicious URLs. To improve the generality of malicious URL detectors, machine learning techniques have
been explored with increasing attention in recent years. In this paper, I use a simple algorithm to detect
and predicting URLs it is good or bad and compared with two other algorithms to know (SVM, LR).
Recent web-based cyber attacks are evolving into a new form of attacks such as private information theft and DDoS attack exploiting JavaScript within a web page. These attacks can be made just by accessing a web site without distribution of malicious codes and infection.Script-based cyber attacks are hard to detect with traditional security equipments such as Firewall and IPS because they inject malicious scripts in a response message for a normal web
request. Furthermore, they are hard to trace because attacks such as DDoS can be made just by visiting a web page. Due to these reasons, it is expected that they could result in direct damages and great ripple effects. To cope with these issues, in this article, a proposal is made for
techniques that are used to detect malicious scripts through real-time web content analysis and to automatically generate detection signatures for malicious JavaScript.

Malicious-URL Detection using Logistic Regression TechniqueDr. Amarjeet Singh
Over the last few years, the Web has seen a
massive growth in the number and kinds of web services.
Web facilities such as online banking, gaming, and social
networking have promptly evolved as has the faith upon them
by people to perform daily tasks. As a result, a large amount
of information is uploaded on a daily to the Web. As these
web services drive new opportunities for people to interact,
they also create new opportunities for criminals. URLs are
launch pads for any web attacks such that any malicious
intention user can steal the identity of the legal person by
sending the malicious URL. Malicious URLs are a keystone
of Internet illegitimate activities. The dangers of these sites
have created a mandates for defences that protect end-users
from visiting them. The proposed approach is that classifies
URLs automatically by using Machine-Learning algorithm
called logistic regression that is used to binary classification.

USING BLACK-LIST AND WHITE-LIST TECHNIQUE TO DETECT MALICIOUS URLSAM Publications,India
Malicious URLs are harmful to every aspect of computer users. Detecting of the malicious URL is very important. Currently, detection of malicious web pages techniques includes black-list and white-list methodology and machine learning classification algorithms are used. However, the black-list and white-list technology is useless if a particular URL is not in list. In this paper, we propose a multi-layer model for detecting malicious URL. The filter can directly determine the URL by training the threshold of each layer filter when it reaches the threshold. Otherwise, the filter leaves the URL to next layer. We also used an example to verify that the model can improve the accuracy of URL detection.
FEATURE SELECTION-MODEL-BASED CONTENT ANALYSIS FOR COMBATING WEB SPAM csandit
With the increasing growth of Internet and World Wide Web, information retrieval (IR) has
attracted much attention in recent years. Quick, accurate and quality information mining is the
core concern of successful search companies. Likewise, spammers try to manipulate IR system
to fulfil their stealthy needs. Spamdexing, (also known as web spamming) is one of the
spamming techniques of adversarial IR, allowing users to exploit ranking of specific documents
in search engine result page (SERP). Spammers take advantage of different features of web
indexing system for notorious motives. Suitable machine learning approaches can be useful in
analysis of spam patterns and automated detection of spam. This paper examines content based
features of web documents and discusses the potential of feature selection (FS) in upcoming
studies to combat web spam. The objective of feature selection is to select the salient features to
improve prediction performance and to understand the underlying data generation techniques.

Phishing scams are increasing drastically, which affects Internet users in compromising personal
credentials. This paper proposes a novel feature utilization method for phishing URL detection called the
Polymorphic property of features. In the initial stage, the URL-related features (46 features) were
extracted. Later, a subset of features (19 out of 46) with the polymorphic property of features was
identified, and they were extracted from different parts of the URL (the domain and path). After extracting
the features, various machine learning classification algorithms were applied to build the machine
learning model using monomorphic treatment of features, polymorphic treatment of features, and both
monomorphic and polymorphic treatment of features. By the polymorphic property of features, we mean
that the same feature provides different interpretations when considered in different parts of the URL. The
machine learning models were built on two different datasets. A comparison of the machine learning
models derived from the two datasets reveals the fact that the model built with both monomorphic and
polymorphic treatment of features yielded higher accuracy in Phishing URL detection than the existing
works.

CONCLUSION:
In this paper, we presented a system that
combined human-verified blacklists with
information retrieval and machine learning
techniques, yielding a probabilistic phish detection
framework that can quickly adapt to new attacks
with reasonably good true positive rates and close to
zero false positive rates.
Our system exploits the high similarity
among phishing web pages, a result of the wide use
of toolkits by criminals. We applied shingling, a
well-known technique used by search engines for
web page duplication detection, to label a given web
page as being similar (or dissimilar) from known
phish taken from black-lists. To minimize false
positives, we used two white-lists of legitimate
domains, as well as altering module which use the
well-known TF-IDF algorithm and search engine
queries, to further examine the legitimacy of
potential phish.
