摘要：Phishing continues to grow as phishers discover new exploits and attack vectors for hosting malicious content; the traditional response using takedowns and blacklists does not appear to impede phishers significantly. A handful of law enforcement projects — for example the FBI's Digital PhishNet and the Internet Crime and Complaint Center (ic3.gov) — have demonstrated that they can collect phishing data in substantial volumes, but these collections have not yet resulted in a significant decline in criminal phishing activity. In this paper, a new system is demonstrated for prioritizing investigative resources to help reduce the time and effort expended examining this particular form of online criminal activity. This research presents a means to correlate phishing websites by showing that certain websites are created by the same phishing kit. Such kits contain the content files needed to create the counterfeit website and often contain additional clues to the identity of the creators. A clustering algorithm is presented that uses collected phishing kits to establish clusters of related phishing websites. The ability to correlate websites provides law enforcement or other potential stakeholders with a means for prioritizing the allocation of limited investigative resources by identifying frequently repeating phishing offenders.
