Abstract

Phishing attacks pose a challenge to web user’s world all over. These attacks from phishing URLs are many and very disturbing to internet users globally. The curiosity by well-meaning security professionals has led to further research, and thus propels the development of newer systems to solve this lingering challenge. The updated detection and notification systems which are User Interface (UI) friendly are been developed in other to curb the gaps of users experiencing phishing attacks via the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) approach. This study demonstrates the use of a user interaction system for phishing URL detection and voice notification. A temporal tokenizer was also generated and used for URL text processing which scanned, recognized characters, symbols and redundant tokens. This made it easier to separate specific features from the URL address and return as a list while also identifying directories, keyword arguments, and extensions. VB.NET was used to at the front end while MYSQL database at the backend to accomplish system goals. The proposed system was tested and delivered satisfactory result demonstrating recommendable efficiency.
