Detection of Websites Based on PhishingWebsites Characteristics

Phishing is a web-based attack that uses social engineering techniques to exploit internet users and acquire sensitive data. Most phishing attacks work by creating a fake version of the real site's web interface to gain the user's trust.. We applied different methods for detecting phishing using known as well as new features. In this we used the heuristic-based approach to handle phishing attacks, in this approached several website features are collected and used to identify the type of the website. The heuristic-based approach can recognize newly created fake websites in real-time. One intelligent approach based on genetic algorithm seems a potential solution that may effectively detect phishing websites with high accuracy and prevent it by blocking them.
