Abstract
A computer system and method for determining the legitimacy of a website determines the presence of a relationship between a received website and at least one known illegitimate website. When such a relationship is detected, the received website is determined to be illegitimate and corresponding action may be taken.
Claims15
A method for determining a legitimacy of a received website comprising:
- determining a similarity between a received website and at least one known illegitimate website by at least comparing a line density of the received website against a line density of a list of known illegitimate website, where a line density of a website is determined by the relationship LD=s/l, where LD is the line density, s is the size of the website and l is the number of lines of code used to present the website;
- and
- determining a presence of a relationship between the received website and the at least one known illegitimate website and determining that the received website is illegitimate in response to determining the presence of the relationship, the relationship comprising at least a minimum threshold of similarity between the at least one known illegitimate website and the received website.
A method for determining a legitimacy of a website comprising:
- retrieving website content from a website;
- analyzing the website content by at least determining a line density of the website, wherein the line density of the website is determined by the relationship LD=s/l, where LD is the line density, s is the size of the website and l is the number of lines of code used to present the website, and determining a website score based at least partially on the analysis;
- determining that the website is illegitimate in response to said website score exceeding a threshold;
- storing the determination in a data storage element.
1 more element
A computer system comprising:
- a first computer connected to the Internet,
- a data storage element interfaced with said first computer such that said first computer is operable to query said data storage element and operable to store and edit data stored in said data storage element, wherein the data storage element is further operable to store previously analyzed website information;
- a user interface operable to allow a user to interact with and control said first computer;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions operable to cause said first computer to perform the steps of retrieving website content from a website, analyzing the website content and determining a website score based at least partially on the analysis, determining that the website is illegitimate in response to said website score exceeding a threshold, and storing the determination in the data storage element in response to at least one command received at said user interface, wherein determining the website score includes at least determining a similarity between the received website and the at least one known illegitimate website by comparing a line density of the received website against a line density of a list of known illegitimate website, where a line density of a website is determined by the relationship LD=s/l, where LD is the line density, s is the size of the website and l is the number of lines of code used to present the website.
