Less is More: Robust and Novel Features for Malicious Domain Detection

Abstract: Malicious domains are increasingly common and pose a severe cybersecurity threat. Specifically, many types of current cyber attacks use URLs for attack communications (e.g., C&C, phishing, and spear-phishing). Despite the continuous progress in detecting these attacks, many alarming problems remain open, such as the weak spots of the defense mechanisms. Since machine learning has become one of the most prominent methods of malware detection, A robust feature selection mechanism is proposed that results in mali… Show more
