Real-Time Phishing Website Detection using a Browser Extension with Random Forest Classifier

Abstract

Phishing is one of the most prevalent cybersecurity threats globally, targeting unsuspecting users by impersonating legitimate websites to steal sensitive data. This paper proposes a real-time phishing website detection system implemented as a browser extension, using a Random Forest classifier. The system extracts address bar, domain-based, and HTML/JavaScript fea- tures to classify websites as phishing or benign. Experimental results on a dataset of 6,000 websites yielded an accuracy of 86.1%, with a precision of 81.65%, recall of 93.05%, and specificity of 79.1%. The model is integrated into a Google Chrome extension, providing seamless and immediate phishing alerts to users during browsing.
