Abstract: This work evaluates two phishing detection algorithms, which are both based on named entity recognition (NER), on live traffic of Email.cz. The first algorithm was proposed in (Ramanathan and Wechsler, 2013). It is using NER and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) as feature extractors for random forest classifier. This algorithm achieved 100% F-measure on the publicly available testing dataset. We are using this algorithm as the baseline for our newly proposed solution. The newly proposed solution is using companies detected by the NER and it is comparing URLs present in the email content to the company URL profile (based on history). The company URL profile contains domains which are frequently mentioned in legitimate traffic from that domain. The advantage of the proposed solution is that it does not need phishing dataset, which is hard to get, especially for languages other than English. Our solution outperforms the baseline solution. Both solutions are able to detect previously un detected phishing attacks. Combination of the solutions achieves 100 % F-measure on the portion of live traffic. (More)
