Detection of Phishing Websites Using Machine Learning

IEEE BASE PAPER ABSTRACT:

Criminals seeking sensitive information construct illegal clones of actual websites and e-mail accounts. The e-mail will be made up of real firm logos and slogans. When a user clicks on a link provided by these hackers, the hackers gain access to all of the user’s private information, including bank account information, personal login passwords, and images. Random Forest and Decision Tree algorithms are heavily employed in present systems, and their accuracy has to be enhanced. The existing models have low latency. Existing systems do not have a specific user interface. In the current system, different algorithms are not compared. Consumers are led to a faked website that appears to be from the authentic company when the e-mails or the links provided are opened. The models are used to detect phishing Websites based on URL significance features, as well as to find and implement the optimal machine learning model. Logistic Regression, Multinomial Naive Bayes, and XG Boost are the machine learning methods that are compared. The Logistic Regression algorithm outperforms the other two.

OUR PROPOSED ABSTRACT:

Phishing is a widespread tactic used to trick gullible people into disclosing their personal information by using bogus websites. Phishing website URLs are designed to steal personal data, including user names, passwords, and online financial activities. Phishers employ websites that resemble those genuine websites both aesthetically and linguistically.

Utilizing anti-phishing methods to identify phishing is necessary to stop the rapid advancement of phishing techniques as a result of advancing technology. A strong tool for thwarting phishing assaults is machine learning. Attackers frequently use phishing because it is simpler to fool a victim into clicking a malicious link that looks authentic than to try to get past a computer’s security measures.

The malicious links within the message body are intended to appear to go to the spoofed company utilising that company’s logos and other genuine information. In the method that is being presented, machine learning is used to create a revolutionary approach for detecting phishing websites. Gradient Boosting Classifier is the model we utilised in our suggested strategy to identify phishing websites based on aspects of URL significance.

By extracting and comparing different characteristics between legitimate and phishing URLs, the suggested method uses gradient boosting classifier to identify phishing URLs. The studies’ findings demonstrate that the suggested approach successfully identifies legitimate websites from bogus ones in real time.
