State of the Art: Content-based and Hybrid Phishing Detection
This is an incremental state-of-the-art review for cybersecurity researchers and practitioners.
The paper reviews and compares recent web content-based and hybrid techniques for phishing detection, addressing the increasing difficulty in distinguishing legitimate from phishing sites.
Phishing attacks have evolved and increased over time and, for this reason, the task of distinguishing between a legitimate site and a phishing site is more and more difficult, fooling even the most expert users. The main proposals focused on addressing this problem can be divided into four approaches: List-based, URL based, content-based, and hybrid. In this state of the art, the most recent techniques using web content-based and hybrid approaches for Phishing Detection are reviewed and compared.
