Abstract:
Phishing is a form of fraud in which the attacker tries to learn sensitive information such as login credentials or account information by sending as a reputable entity or person in email or other communication channels. Phishing is popular among attackers, since it is easier to trick someone into clicking a malicious link which seems legitimate than trying to break through a computer’s defense systems. The malicious links within the body of the message are designed to make it appear that they go to the spoofed organization using that organization’s logos and other legitimate contents. As the technology advances, the number of possible malicious attacks would also increase. It would be impossible to prevent all the new malicious and phishing websites using the traditional methodology of storing the list of malicious URLs and checking directly from the database. Therefore there should be a technique to detect the phishing websites. So, “Machine Learning” Techniques are used to detect the phishing websites dynamically. Here, we create a tool that detect the malicious or phishing websites. The tool is connected to the browser as an extension. It uses random forest algorithm to train the data to detect the phishing website. The tool grabs the url from the browser and test it based on random forest classifier. Next, this algorithm will construct a decision tree for every sample. Then it will get the prediction result from every decision tree. voting will be performed for every predicted result. At last, select the most voted prediction result as the final prediction result. The final prediction result is used to decide the website is phishing or safe.
