Machine-learning code crafts phishing URLs that dodge auto-detection

Here's some phish-AI research: Machine-     learning code crafts phishing URLs that     dodge auto-detection     Humans, keep your eyes out for dodgy web links         An artificially intelligent system has been demonstrated generating URLs for phishing websites that appear to evade detection by security tools. Essentially, the software can come up with URLs for webpages that masquerade as legit login pages for real websites, when in actual fact, the webpages simply collect the entered username and passwords to later hijack accounts. Blacklists and algorithms – intelligent or otherwise – can be used to automatically identify and block links to phishing pages. Humans should be able to spot that the web links are dodgy, but not everyone is so savvy. Using the  Phishtank  database, a group of computer scientists from Cyxtera Technologies, a cybersecurity biz based in Florida, USA, have built  D...

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

                Artificial Intelligence (AI)              Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that aims to create intelligent machines. It has become an essential part of the technology industry. Research associated with artificial intelligence is highly technical and specialized. The core problems of artificial intelligence include programming computers for certain traits such as: Knowledge Reasoning Problem solving Perception Learning Planning Ability to manipulate and move objects.         Knowledge engineering is a core part of AI research. Machines can often act and react like humans only if they have abundant information relating to the world. Artificial intelligence must have access to objects, categories, properties and relations between all of them to implement knowledge engineering. Initiating common sense, reasoning and problem-solving pow...

Machine Learning

Machine Learning              Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed.  Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs  that can access data and use it learn for themselves.            The process of learning begins with observations or data, such as examples, direct experience, or instruction, in order to look for patterns in data and make better decisions in the future based on the examples that we provide.  The primary aim is to allow the computers learn automatically  without human intervention or assistance and adjust actions accordingly.
