Abstract :
This paper describes a set of innovative attribute based checks for defending against phishing attacks. We explain a number of anti-phishing algorithms implemented as plugins and highlight which attributes of phishing sites they consider.To assess the effectiveness and applicability of this prototype,we performed extensive experimental testing. We present a fully automated crawling framework that we developed for testing,along with the main experimental results.
