Design of Efficient Phishing Detection Model using Machine Learning

Abstract

Recently, there have been cases of phishing attempts to steal personal information through fake sites disguised as major sites. Although phishing attacks continue and increase, countermeasures remain in the form of defense after identifying the attack. Therefore, in this paper, we designed a phishing detection model using machine learning that provides knowledge and prediction by learning patterns from data input to a computer. For this, an analysis model was built using sklearn logistic regression, and the phishing probability was visualized using a heatmap. In addition, a graph was used to visually indicate the result, and a function for attribute information of a phishing website was provided.
