Abstract

Phishing is a network attack in which attacker generates a replica of current legitimate site to contrivance the users into submitting their personal and sensitive information. A good anti-phishing solution should have rapid access time and rapid detection rate, but most of the existing solutions fail to satisfy it. A new method is proposed to prevent phishing attack which evaluates the URL Characteristics and cross check with the white-list. The proposed method has higher access time and higher detection rate than other methods. Whenever the user opens a website for the first time which is not available in the white-list, the algorithm proposed here examines the webpage using URL characteristics. The experimental results depict the accuracy of proposed method having accuracy of 93.8% with less negative rate.
