Developing and Evaluating an Artificial Intelligence Model for Malicious URL Detection

Abstract

Today, the increased use of the internet has become important in our lives and new communication technologies, social networks, e-commerce, online banking, and among other applications have a significant impact on the promotion and growth of business. In our study, we aimed to work with a large dataset and to achieve the best results in detecting malicious URL addresses using an artificial intelligence model. A 7-layer RNN model was used in the study, and two similar national and international datasets were combined and merged to create a big new dataset consisting of 579,112 URL addresses. Then, this new data set is divided into training and test sets. first data set was trained at the model and then the second data set was processed test. When this data set was processed in our model, we achieved a success rate of over 91%. This rate is a very good result of detecting malicious url addresses. Your contribution with this work is significant in developing more effective methods for detecting harmful sites as internet usage increases, parallel use of artificial intelligence models makes detection of such sites more effective and potentially assist users in protecting from various types of cyber-attacks is targeted.
