description | The proliferation of malicious webpages presents a growing threat to online security, necessitating advanced detection methods to mitigate risks. This paper proposes a novel approach that integrates Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques with an ensemble of machine learning models for the proactive detection of malicious web content. By leveraging semantic analysis, lexical patterns, and metadata extraction, the proposed framework enhances the identification of suspicious patterns in web page content. The ensemble model combines decision trees, random forests, and gradient boosting methods, optimizing classification accuracy and reducing false positives. A comprehensive evaluation using a large dataset of web pages, including both benign and malicious examples, demonstrates the superiority of the proposed method over traditional single-model approaches. With accuracy rates exceeding 98%, this framework achieves a robust, scalable solution for real-time web content analysis, providing a critical tool for cybersecurity professionals to detect and block malicious webpages before they can cause harm. Future directions include the integration of deep learning architectures and adaptive filtering techniques to further refine detection capabilities. |
