Abstract
A phishing classification model that detects a phishing website based on one or more feature vectors for the website is provided. The phishing classification model may operate on a server and may further select a website, generate a feature vector for a landing page of the website, create a feature vector for every iframe that is a descendent of the landing page, and derive a final feature vector from the feature vectors of the landing page and the descendent iframe pages. Further, machine learning techniques may be applied to generate, or train, a classification model based upon one or more known phishing websites. Based on the feature vector, the classification modeler may classify a website as either a phishing website or as a non-phishing website. Feedback in the form of human verification may further be incorporated.
