A phishing
attack is the simplest way to obtain sensitive information from users. The aim
of the phishers is to acquire critical information like username, password,
bank account details and other personal information. With the development of
Internet technology, network security is under different threats. Especially
attackers can spread malicious uniform resource locators (URLs) to carry out
attacks such as phishing and spam. The research on malicious URL detection is
significant for defending against this attack. Some existing detection methods
are easy to cover by attackers. We design a malicious URL detection model based
on Machine Learning Techniques to solve these problems. Cyber security persons
are now looking for reliable and stable detection techniques for phishing
websites detection. This propose system deals with machine learning technology
for the detection of phishing URLs by extracting and analysing various feature
of legitimate and phishing URLs. Decision Trees, random forest and support vector
machine algorithms are used to detect phishing websites or unsecure websites.
The aim of the paper is to detect phishing URLs as well as cut down to the best
machine learning algorithm by comparing the accuracy rate, false positive and
false negative rate of each algorithm. This paper analyses the structural
feature of the URL of the Phishing websites extracts 12 kinds of features and
uses four machine learning algorithms for training and use the best-performing
algorithm as our model to identify unknown URLs.
