Anomaly Based Malicious URL Detection in Instant Messaging

Lin, Jia-bin 15 July 2009 (has links)
Instant messaging (IM) has been a platform of spreading malware for hackers due to its popularity and immediacy. To evade anti-virus detection, hacker might send malicious URL message, instead of malicious binary file. A malicious URL is a link pointing to a malware file or a phishing site, and it may then propagate through the victim's contact list. Moreover, hacker sometimes might use social engineering tricks making malicious URLs hard to be identified. The previous solutions are improper to detect IM malicious URL in real-time. Therefore, we propose a novel approach for detecting IM malicious URL in a timely manner based on the anomalies of URL messages and sender's behavior. Malicious behaviors are profiled as a set of behavior patterns and a scoring model is developed to evaluate the significance of each anomaly. To speed up the detection, the malicious behavior patterns can identify known malicious URLs efficiently, while the scoring model is used to detect unknown malicious URLs. Our experimental results show that the proposed approach achieves low false positive rate and low false negative rate.
