Abstract

With the growth in the present digital era, the Internet is the prime source of knowledge. This situation is depleted by phishers and they have drafted various websites which steals user’s information and misuse it. Though it is hard to locate a phishing site, various features of the phishing site helps in uncovering its mask. This paper discusses several features to identify a phishing site. Using data mining techniques like classification and association rule mining many explorations are performed to prove the notion. Similarly, the impact of various features considered for analysis is studied too.
