Abstract

Phishing is a type of Internet fraud that aims to acquire the credential of users via scamming websites. In this paper, a novel approach is utilized that uses a Neural Network with a multilayer perceptron to detect the scam URL. The proposed system improves the accuracy of the scam detection system as it achieves a high accuracy percentage of 98.5%.

Highlights

  • In recent years, cyber-attacks are becoming increasingly common

  • The first category is the syntactic attack that are grouped under the name "malicious software" or "malware" and this type of attacks include viruses, Trojan horses, and worms

  • Phishing protection methods are classified into two main categories; denunciation platforms and heuristics-based solutions. denunciation platforms are built by developers and periodically provide the web browser with the updated blacklist [9]

Summary

Introduction

Cyber-attacks are becoming increasingly common. The attackers use the computer as a tool or as a target and sometimes both. A cyber-attack deliberately destroys computers, steals information, or use a compromised computer as a starting point for other threats [1, 2]. The second category is semantic attacks, where the attackers collect the victim information through some websites or links that looks like trusted websites or to acquire his/her username, password, and credit card information [4]. The attacker uses Email, Website, URL to crack usernames, passwords and credit card details directly from users. Phishing emails are designed to sound as if they were sent from a lawful corporation or a recognized individual. Such emails aim to get the victim to visit a website that leads the victim to a fake website that claims to be legitimate.
