Phishing, Spamming, drive by download are the example of such attacks and are preformed through malicious URL. Plenty of approaches are available to detect the malicious URL. That are grouped under three categories such as Blacklist based, Heuristic based and Machine Learning based approaches. Among the three, heuristic approach is better than the blacklist approach in term of better generalizing the malicious URL and gives equally accurate prediction with machine learning approach. This paper presents recent works in the field of malicious URL detection and novel technique to detect malicious URL based on the most important features derived from URL. 2022 Author(s).
