Abstract :
Phishing remains a major security threat in cyber security. In phishing, attackers steal sensitive information such as login credentials, credit card numbers from victims by providing a fake site which looks like the visual clone of a legitimate site. It can be said that single filter method is not sufficient to detect different categories of phishing emails. This paper provides a model combining various filtering methods to detect phishing. The model incorporates five layers: Block list layer, white list layer, Spam filtering layer, URL features layer, hashing layer. A prototype implementation of the proposed model is built to improve spam and phishing Email filtering over the existing techniques.
Keywords :
Spam, Phishing, Email Filtering, Layered Filtering, Malicious Email.
