A Deep-Learning Approach to Phishing Detection.

A common tactic for adversaries to harvest credentials and personal information is through phishing websites. To increase the probability of a successful attack, the attackers try to closely mirror the look of a legitimate website, hoping to trick their target.
There are various approaches to detecting phishing pages that focus on extracting source code features of the website. Another way is to visually inspect the rendered page and URL. This talk is an overview of how such an approach would be implemented using a deep neural network and its accuracy in identifying phishing pages.
