Query Based Approach Towards Spam Attacks Using Artificial Neural Network
Gaurav Kumar Tak, Tapaswi Shashikala · International Journal of Artificial Intelligence & Applications · 2010
Currently, spam and scams are passive attack over the inbox which can initiated to steal some confidential information, to spread Worms, Viruses, Trojans, cookies and Sometimes they are used for phishing attacks. Spam mails are the major issue over mail boxes as well as over the internet. Spam mails can be the cause of phishing attack, hacking of banking accounts, attacks on confidential data. Spamming is growing at a rapid rate since sending a flood of mails is easy and very cheap. Spam mails disturb the mind-peace, waste time and consume various resources e.g., memory space and network bandwidth, so filtering of spam mails is a big issue in cyber security. This paper presents an novel approach of spam filtering which is based on some query generated approach on the knowledge base and also use some artificial neural network methods to detect the spam mails based on their behavior. analysis of the mail header, cross validation. Proposed methodology includes the 7 several steps which are well defined and achieve the higher accuracy. It works well with all kinds of spam mails (text based spam as well as image spam). Our tested data and experiments results shows promising results, and spam’s are detected out at least 98.17 % with 0.12 % false positive.
