Abstract

Over the years, cybercriminals have become more sophisticated in manipulating network users. Malware is a popular tool they use to exploit victims, targeting valuable assets such as identities and credit cards in the realm of digital technology. Cybersecurity professionals are consistently innovating to detect malicious activities. Machine learning (ML) algorithms are now a leading method for rapidly identifying unseen malware, offering efficiency and intelligence beyond traditional approaches. In fact, attackers like to see the victims suffer from damage caused by malware. Malware can destroy devices and networks. Additionally, hackers can blackmail individuals and organizations to obtain money through ransomware. Therefore, the aim of this research is developing a new model that has the capability of detecting malwares that are targeting Windows operating systems (OS) through enhancing an existing model by deploying several ML algorithms which are extreme gradient boosting (XGB) and random forest (RF). In addition, the swarm optimization and ML applied to portable executable (SOMLAP) dataset applied in the portable executable (PE) is used for training data and testing these learning algorithms. The result achieved by XGB and RF hybrid technique accuracy was 0.966, precision 0.990 and recall was 0.918.

Abstract

Phishing attacks are increasing with the rise in web users. Addressing them requires understanding the techniques and employing effective response strategies. Phishing websites mimic authentic ones to deceive users into divulging personal information like bank account details, national insurance numbers, and passwords. Therefore, victims face financial loss from breached information security, constituting high-level internet fraud. Detecting phishing websites necessitates an intelligent model capable of recognizing suspicious features. To that purpose, this paper examines three classification methods for detecting phishing website attacks. This analysis allows to reconsider our awareness of phishing attacks and prevent the damage caused by phishing attempts in advance. Phishing website detection algorithm using three classification algorithms is proposed in this paper. It achieves high phishing website detecting accuracy, because three classification algorithms random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and Bagging are combined in one system. The result of this research is found accuracy on validation set is 92.33%, the precision on validation set is 92.13%, the recall is 92.09% and F1 score is 92.10%. That prove that the result obtained in this research is more accurate than all the results of all the algorithms were applied in the same dataset that was train the proposed algorithm on it.
