Attribute-Based Prevention of Phishing Attacks

Abstract—This paper describes a set of innovative attributebased checks for defending against phishing attacks1 . We explain a number of anti-phishing algorithms implemented as plugins and highlight which attributes of phishing sites they consider. To assess the effectiveness and applicability of this prototype, we performed extensive experimental testing. We present a fully automated crawling framework that we developed for testing, along with the main experimental results.
