Phishing campaigns remain as one of the most timeless, and prevalent attacks against a corporation. However, phishing detection and prevention used today are still rooted in archaic methodologies of producing, obtaining, and maintaining blacklists. As an alternative, research into implementing a heuristic-based approach, rooted in fundamental machine learning algorithms, for phishing prevention is becoming more common. This talk will include a discussion on the heuristically approach of extracting features from a website and assessing if they are malicious or not, exploring how to effectively use various modeling for classification on the features of a website, and the stages to build out a repository for phishing research.
