Abstract

Phishing attack is a deceitful attempt to steal the confidential data such as credit card information, and account passwords. In this paper, Phish-Shelter, a novel anti-phishing browser is developed, which analyzes the URL and the content of phishing page. Phish-Shelter is based on combined supervised machine learning model.Phish-Shelter browser uses two novel feature set, which are used to determine the web page identity. The proposed feature sets include eight features to evaluate the obfuscation-based rule, and eight features to identify search engine. Further, we have taken eleven features which are used to discover contents, and blacklist based rule. Phish-Shelter exploited matching identity features, which determines the degree of similarity of a URL with the blacklisted URLs. Proposed features are independent from third-party services such as web browser history or search engines result. The experimental results indicate that, there is a significant improvement in detection accuracy using proposed features over traditional features.
