A common countermeasure involves checking URLs against blacklists of known phishing websites, which are traditionally compiled based on manual verification, and is inefficient. Thus, as the Internet scale grows, automatic URL detection is increasingly important to provide timely protection to end users. In this thesis, we propose an effective and flexible malicious URL detection system with a rich set of features reflecting diverse characteristics of phishing webpages and their hosting platforms, including features that are hard to forge by a miscreant. Using Random Forests algorithm, our system enjoys the benefit of both high detection power and low error rates. Based on our knowledge, this is the first study to conduct such a large-scale websites/URLs scanning and classification experiments taking advantage of distributed vantage points for feature collection. Experiment results demonstrate that our system can be utilized for automatic construction of blacklists by a blacklist provider.

Book excerpt: In recent years, interest and progress in the area of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have boomed, with new applications vigorously pursued across many sectors. At the same time, the computing and communications technologies on which we have come to rely present serious security concerns: cyberattacks have escalated in number, frequency, and impact, drawing increased attention to the vulnerabilities of cyber systems and the need to increase their security. In the face of this changing landscape, there is significant concern and interest among policymakers, security practitioners, technologists, researchers, and the public about the potential implications of AI and ML for cybersecurity. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop on March 12-13, 2019 to discuss and explore these concerns. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Book excerpt: Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Mathematik - Sonstiges, Note: 1,3, Universität Ulm, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Phishing is a form of identity theft that combines social engineering techniques and sophisticated attack vectors to fraudulently gain confidential information of unsuspecting consumers. To prevent successful phishing attacks, there are several approaches to detect and block phishing emails. In this work, we apply a number of modern transformer based machine learning methods for phishing email detection. Typically, phishing messages imitate trustworthy sources and request information via some form of electronic communication. The most frequent attack route is via email where phishers often try to persuade the email recipients to perform an action. This action may involve revealing confidential information (e.g. passwords) or inadvertently providing access to their computers or networks (e.g. through the installation of malicious software).

Attackers solicit individuals to click phishing links by sending them emails or social media text messages with deceptive content. With the development and applications of machine learning technology, solutions for detecting phishing links have emerged. Subsequently, performance optimization achieved by machine learning-based approaches were predominantly limited to the datasets used to train the model, such as few open source datasets, poorly characterized data points, and outdated datasets. This thesis introduces a framework based on multiple phishing detection strategies, which are whitelist, blacklist, heuristic rules, and machine learning models, to improve accuracy and flexibility. In the machine learning-based method, three traditional models and three deep learning models are trained and compared the performance of their test results, and concluded that the Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) model achieved the highest accuracy of 99.18%. Furthermore, in the expert-driven heuristic rule-based strategy, seven new HTML-based features are proposed. Finally, a prototype has been developed, with a browser extension to display detection results in real-time.
