Abstract: The technology described herein can identify phishing URLs using transformers. The technology tokenizes useful features from the subject URL. The useful features can include the text of the URL and other data associated with the URL, such as certificate data for the subject URL, a referrer URL, an IP address, etc. The technology may build a joint Byte Pair Encoding for the features. The token encoding may be processed through a transformer, resulting in a transformer output. The transformer output, which may be described as a token embedding, may be input to a classifier to determine whether the URL is a phishing URL. Additional or improved URL training data may be generated by permuting token order, by simulating a homoglyph attack, and by simulating an a compound word attack.
