Keywords: Phishing Detection, Deep learning, Classification, Tabular Multi-Head Attention

Abstract: The vast usage and development of web technology generate numerous types of web pages. Besides, not all these types are legitimate webpages. Phishing sites mislead web page users into taking harmful actions. However, there is a need for a tool to address this type of problem. Deep learning models are used in dealing with web technology to detect whether the webpage is either legitimate or phishing. Herein, a novel Tabular Multi-Head Attention (TabMHA) model is presented to perform a binary classification task. The main task is to classify whether the webpages are phishing or not. The proposed model is trained and tested on a benchmark dataset related to phishing detection. It contains 5000 legitimate web pages and 5000 phishing ones; the overall is 10,000. Also, the feature numbers in the dataset are out of 48 features. As a consequence, the proposed model achieved a powerful performance compared with other models in the literature; the model achieved an accuracy level of 99.6%. This result is considered a promising result and can be integrated into real-world detection models.
