Hackers bypass anti-spam filtering techniques by embedding malicious URL in the content of the
messages. Hence the URL analyzer method with the help of minimized phishing feature set identifies the
malicious URL in the emails. The datasets are obtained from two sourcesviz DMOZ Open Directory Project
and Phishtank(2012). Phishtank is a source of blacklisted phishing URLs which admits user inputs and they
are also verified by users. An E-Mail server has been configured with hMail namedas SSE Mail Server for the
testing purposes. The false positive rate refers to the number of legitimate emails classified as phishing emails,
and false negative rate refers to the number of phishing emails classified as legitimate. The Table 3 shows that
out of 1000 Phishing mails with malicious URLs, the above results were obtained for identifying various
lexical and host based features.
