Le Dang Nguyen, Dac‐Nhuong Le, Lê Trọng Vĩnh · 2014
Most modern day phishing attacks occur by luring users into visiting a malicious web page that looks and behaves like the original. Phishing is a web-based attack which end users are lured to visit fraudulent websites and give away personal information unconsciously. The key problem for checking phishing pages is timely and efficiently calculation. There is still remaining a large space for phishing detection methods. In this paper, we present an approach which calculates similarity of two web pages based on genetic algorithm and applied it to detecting phishing web pages using DOM-Tree structure. Our experimental evaluation demonstrates that our solution is feasible in practice.
