Abstract

This paper tackles some important matters such as the server performance and the URL phishing. Nowadays the system management is a crucial issue and any potential failure needs to be detected quickly and, at the same time, to avoid URL phishing via defining rules in the firewall setting. An empirical study through data mining is conducted covering different prediction techniques. Lastly, some guidelines are provided to emit a critical view about what may happen and how to act immediately.
