Improving Homograph Attack Classification

A visual homograph attack is a way that the attacker deceives the web users about which domain they are visiting by exploiting forged domains that look similar to the genuine domains. T. Thao et al. (IFIP SEC'19) proposed a homograph classification by applying conventional supervised learning algorithms on the features extracted from a single-character-based Structural Similarity Index (SSIM). This paper aims to improve the classification accuracy by combining their SSIM features with 199 features extracted from a N-gram model and applying advanced ensemble learning algorithms. The experimental result showed that our proposed method could enhance even 1.81 reduce 2.15 learning on some features without being able to explain why applying it can improve the accuracy. Even though the accuracy could be improved, understanding the ground-truth is also crucial. Therefore, in this paper, we conducted an error empirical analysis and could obtain several findings behind our proposed approach.
