  • Patent number: 12166796
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to detecting and identifying malicious sites using machine learning. A computing platform may receive image data of a graphical rendering of a resource available at a uniform resource locator (URL). The computing platform may compute a computer vision vector representation of the image data. The computing platform may compare the computer vision vector representation of the image data to stored numeric vectors representing page elements, resulting in a feature indicating whether the computer vision vector representation of the image data is visually similar to a known page element, and may input the feature to a classifier. The computing platform may receive, from the classifier, a phish classification score indicating a likelihood that the URL is malicious. In response to determining that the phish classification score exceeds a first phish classification threshold, the computing platform may cause a cybersecurity server to perform a first action.

  • Publication number: 20240171610
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to detecting and identifying malicious sites using machine learning. A computing platform may receive a uniform resource locator (URL). The computing platform may parse and/or tokenize the URL to reduce the URL into a plurality of components. The computing platform may identify human-engineered features of the URL. The computing platform may compute a vector representation of the URL to identify deep learned features of the URL. The computing platform may concatenate the human-engineered features of the URL to the deep learned features of the URL, resulting in a concatenated vector representation. By inputting the concatenated vector representation of the URL to a URL classifier, the computing platform may compute a phish classification score. In response to determining that the phish classification score exceeds a first phish classification threshold, the computing platform may cause a cybersecurity server to perform a first action.

  • Patent number: 5826258
    Abstract: A method is provided for determining how semistructured information is organized in disparate semistructured resources by providing a wrapper to extract information and to provide structured information (e.g., tuples of an SQL database) to a mapper coupled to a standard relational database engine. In a specific embodiment, a querying agent is provided on top of the mapper. Further according to the invention, structured high-level user queries are processed across the disparate semistructured resources using a plurality of wrappers each dedicated to a particular resource.
