  • Publication number: 20170286544
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to using a hash signature of a rendered DOM object of a website to find similar content and behavior on other websites. Embodiments break a DOM into a large number of data portions (i.e., “shingles”), apply a hashing algorithm to the shingles, select a predetermined number of hashes from the hashed shingles according to a selection criteria to create a hash signature, and compare the hash signature to that of a reference page to determine similarity of website DOM object content. Embodiments can be used to identify phishing websites, defaced websites, spam websites, significant changes in the content of a webpage, copyright infringement, and any other suitable purposes related to the similarity between website DOM object content.

  • Publication number: 20170195439
    Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to techniques for infrastructure analysis of Internet-based activity. Techniques are disclosed to enable analysts to spend more time focusing on analyzing and identifying threats to in a network infrastructure, and little time on data collection and data processing. Specifically, techniques are described for identifying network data relevant to Internet activity and providing an interactive interface (e.g., a “heat map” interface) for viewing and interactive analysis of the network data. The network data may be identified for assessing Internet activity with respect to one or more attributes, such as an Internet domain name or an Internet protocol (IP) address.

  • Publication number: 20170099319
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to identifying phishing websites by rendering and analyzing document object model (DOM) objects associated with a website for features that indicate phishing behavior. Embodiments analyze the full scope and functionality associated with a website by executing functions embedded in a DOM object before analyzing the website for phishing activity. Accordingly, embodiments render and analyze a fully executed DOM object for phishing behavior. Embodiments may then perform steps to mediate a website that is classified as performing phishing. Thus, embodiments are configured to (1) collect website information from a variety of websites and web servers connected to the internet, (2) analyze the collected data to determine whether the web site information is performing phishing, and (3) mediate websites and other actors that are determined to be performing phishing based on the results of the phishing analysis.
