State of the Art: Content-based and Hybrid Phishing Detection

Abstract

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.
