Abstract
The disclosure is related to computer-implemented methods for domain name scoring. In one example, the method includes receiving a request to provide a reputation score of a domain name, receiving input data associated with the domain name, extracting a plurality of features from the input data and the domain name, generating a feature vector based on the plurality of features, and calculating the reputation score of the domain name by a machine-learning classifier based on a graph database, which includes feature vectors associated with at least a plurality of reference domain names, a plurality of servers, a plurality of domain name owners, and so forth. In another example, the method can calculate the reputation score by finding a similarity between the feature vector and one of domain name clusters in the graph database. The reputation score represents a probability that the domain name is associated with malicious activity.
