A phishing webpage detecting algorithm using webpage noise and N-Gram

Abstract

Although anti-phishing solutions were highly publicized, phishing attack has been still an important serious problem. In this paper, a novel phishing webpage detecting algorithm using the webpage noise and n-gram was proposed. Firstly, the phishing webpage detecting algorithm extracts the webpage noise from suspicious websites, and then expresses it as a feature vector by using n-gram. Lastly, the similarity of feature vector between the protected website and suspicious is calculated. Experimental results on detecting phishing sites samples data show that: this algorithm is more effective, accurate and quick than existing algorithms to detect whether a site is a phishing website.
