    摘要: Phishing detection, prevention, and notification is described. In an embodiment, a messaging application facilitates communication via a messaging user interface, and receives a communication, such as an email message, from a domain. A phishing detection module detects a phishing attack in the communication by determining that the domain is similar to a known phishing domain, or by detecting suspicious network properties of the domain. In another embodiment, a Web browsing application receives content, such as data for a Web page, from a network-based resource, such as a Web site or domain. The Web browsing application initiates a display of the content, and a phishing detection module detects a phishing attack in the content by determining that a domain of the network-based resource is similar to a known phishing domain, or that an address of the network-based resource from which the content is received has suspicious network properties.

    摘要: Identification of email forwarders is described. In an implementation, a method includes using heuristics to identify email forwarders for use in a reputation system for locating spammers. In another implementation, a method includes determining a likelihood that a particular Internet Protocol (IP) address corresponds to an email forwarder and processing email originating from the particular IP address based on the determined likelihood. In a further implementation, a method includes collecting heuristic data that describes characteristics of emails sent from one or more Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and constructing a model from the heuristic data for identifying whether at least one of the IP address is an email forwarder. In yet a further implementation, a method includes identifying that a particular Internet Protocol (IP) address likely corresponds to an email forwarder and processing email from the particular IP address based on an implied sender of the email.

    摘要: Disclosed are signature-based systems and methods that facilitate spam detection and prevention at least in part by calculating hash values for an incoming message and then determining a probability that the hash values indicate spam. In particular, the signatures generated for each incoming message can be compared to a database of both spam and good signatures. A count of the number of matches can be divided by a denominator value. The denominator value can be an overall volume of messages sent to the system per signature for example. The denominator value can be discounted to account for different treatments and timing of incoming messages. Furthermore, secure hashes can be generated by combining portions of multiple hashing components. A secure hash can be made from a combination of multiple hashing components or multiple combinations thereof. The signature based system can also be integrated with machine learning systems to optimize spam prevention.

    摘要: Embodiments of proofs to filter spam are presented herein. Proofs are utilized to indicate a sender used a set amount of computer resources in sending a message in order to demonstrate the sender is not a “spammer”. Varying the complexity of the proofs, or the level of resources used to send the message, will indicate to the recipient the relative likelihood the message is spam. Higher resource usage indicates that the message may not be spam, while lower resource usage increases the likelihood a message is spam. Also, if the recipient requires a higher level of proof than received, the receiver may request the sender send additional proof to verify the message is not spam.

    摘要: Email spam filtering is performed based on a combination of IP address and domain. When an email message is received, an IP address and a domain associated with the email message are determined. A cross product of the IP address (or portions of the IP address) and the domain (or portions of the domain) is calculated. If the email message is known to be either spam or non-spam, then a spam score based on the known spam status is stored in association with each (IP address, domain) pair element of the cross product. If the spam status of the email message is not known, then the (IP address, domain) pair elements of the cross product are used to lookup previously determined spam scores. A combination of the previously determined spam scores is used to determine whether or not to treat the received email message as spam.

    摘要: Email spam filtering is performed based on a sender reputation and message features. When an email message is received, a preliminary spam determination is made based, at least in part, on a combination of a reputation associated with the sender of the email message and one or more features of the email message. If the preliminary spam determination indicates that the message is spam, then a secondary spam determination is made based on one or more features of the received email message. If both the preliminary and secondary spam determinations indicate that the received email message is likely spam, then the message is treated as spam.

    摘要: Decision trees populated with classifier models are leveraged to provide enhanced spam detection utilizing separate email classifiers for each feature of an email. This provides a higher probability of spam detection through tailoring of each classifier model to facilitate in more accurately determining spam on a feature-by-feature basis. Classifiers can be constructed based on linear models such as, for example, logistic-regression models and/or support vector machines (SVM) and the like. The classifiers can also be constructed based on decision trees. “Compound features” based on internal and/or external nodes of a decision tree can be utilized to provide linear classifier models as well. Smoothing of the spam detection results can be achieved by utilizing classifier models from other nodes within the decision tree if training data is sparse. This forms a base model for branches of a decision tree that may not have received substantial training data.

    摘要: The subject invention provides for an intelligent quarantining system and method that facilitates a more robust classification system in connection with spam prevention. The invention involves holding back some messages that appear to be questionable, suspicious, or untrustworthy from classification (as spam or good). In particular, the filter lacks information about these messages and thus classification is temporarily delayed. This provides more time for a filter update to arrive with a more accurate classification. The suspicious messages can be quarantined for a determined time period to allow more data to be collected regarding these messages. A number of factors can be employed to determine whether messages are more likely to be flagged for further analysis. User feedback by way of a feedback loop system can also be utilized to facilitate classification of the messages. After some time period, classification of the messages can be resumed.

    摘要: The subject invention provides for an intelligent quarantining system and method that facilitates detecting and preventing spam. In particular, the invention employs a machine learning filter specifically trained using origination features such as an IP address as well as destination feature such as a URL. Moreover, the system and method involve training a plurality of filters using specific feature data for each filter. The filters are trained independently each other, thus one feature may not unduly influence another feature in determining whether a message is spam. Because multiple filters are trained and available to scan messages either individually or in combination (at least two filters), the filtering or spam detection process can be generalized to new messages having slightly modified features (e.g., IP address). The invention also involves locating the appropriate IP addresses or URLs in a message as well as guiding filters to weigh origination or destination features more than text-based features.
