Abstract
The growth of digitalization services via web browsers has simplified our
daily routine of doing business. But at the same time, it has made the web
browser very attractive for several cyber-attacks. Web phishing is a well-known
cyberattack that is used by attackers camouflaging as trustworthy web servers
to obtain sensitive user information such as credit card numbers, bank
information, personal ID, social security number, and username and passwords.
In recent years many techniques have been developed to identify the authentic
web pages that users visit and warn them when the webpage is phishing. In this
paper, we have developed an extension for Chrome the most favorite web browser,
that will serve as a middleware between the user and phishing websites. The
Chrome extension named "NoPhish" shall identify a phishing webpage based on
several Machine Learning techniques. We have used the training dataset from
"PhishTank" and extracted the 22 most popular features as rated by the Alexa
database. The training algorithms used are Random Forest, Support Vector
Machine, and k-Nearest Neighbor. The performance results show that Random
Forest delivers the best precision.
