It also provides information about unshortened URLs such as the title, description, keywords, and authors of the page. You can also check if the original URL is in search engines, Twitter, and see if the hidden links are safe or not. CheckShortURL suggests some secure browsing tools to verify the integrity of shortened links: wot (trust's website), site advisor, Google, Sukuri, Norton or browser defender scan for clues as to how secure the short URL is (detect malicious activity such as phishing attacks, malware, viruses or work, spam and other inappropriate content). You should try a tool that can tell you whether a specific keyword or username has already been taken. CheckShortURL provides a complete analysis of the URL shortcut bench that provides this alias option.

URL shortening is a world wide web technology that significantly shortens the overall resource locator (URL) and still directs you to the pages you still need. This is done using redirects that lead to web pages with long URLs. For example, you can shorten the URL and you can shorten the URL to . The redirect domain name is shorter than the original domain name. If a reader copies a URL from a print source, you can use a familiar URL for messaging techniques (such as SMS) that reduce the amount of input required, make it easier for people to remember, or to limit the number of characters in a message for the purpose of permalink. In November 2009, the shortened link to the URL shortening service was accessed 2.1 billion times. [1] Other uses for url shortening are to beautify links, track clicks, or disguise your primary address. The disguise of the primary address may be required for legitimate business or personal reasons, but it is open to abuse. [2] Some URL shortening service providers Spam blacklists themselves, because of the use of redirect services by sites that try to bypass such blacklists. Some web sites prevent short, redirected URLs from being published. There are several reasons to use purpose URL shortening. Often, non-general shortened links may not be aesthetically satisfactory. Many Web developers pass descriptive attributes that represent data hierarchy, command structure, transaction path, or session information in the URL. This can result in URLs that are hundreds of character lengths and contain complex character patterns. These URLs are difficult to memorize, type, or distribute. Therefore, long URLs must be copied and pasted for stability. Therefore, short URLs can be more convenient for websites or hard copy publications (such as printed magazines or books), and the latter often involves dividing or truncating very long strings into multiple lines. Twitter and some instant messaging services limit the number of characters a message can deliver, but twitter t.co now uses its own URL shortening service to automatically shorten links, so you don't have to use a separate URL shortening service to shorten urLs in Tweets. In these other services, url shorteners can be used to connect to web pages and violate this constraint. Some shortcodes, such as goo.gl, tinyurl.com, and bit.ly, are longer than strings generated by long-term-optimized services, but can generate human-readable URLs. Finally, url shortcut sites provide more information about the clicks the link receives, which can be simpler than setting up an equally robust server-side analysis engine and, unlike the latter, do not require access to the server. URLs encoded with two-dimensional barcodes, such as QR codes, are often shortened to URL shorteners so that they can be printed at a lower density to reduce the print area of the code or improve scan reliability. Register a short URLSome websites can create short links to make it easier to share links via instant messaging and send links more cheaply via SMS. You can do this online on the Web page of the URL shortening service. You may need to use the API to perform batches or on-demand. Several well-known websites have set up their own URL shortening services for their own use – for example, t.co Twitter, g.co Google, x.co GoDaddy. Description of the technology: Shortening the URL redirect URL, all long URLs are associated with a unique key, which is the part after the top-level domain name. For example, has a key of m3q2xt. Not all redirects are treated equally. The redirect command sent to the browser can be included in the header of HTTP state 301 (permanently moved). (found), 307 (temporary redirect) or 308 (permanent redirect). There are several techniques for implementing URL shortening. The key can be generated in the default 36, assuming 26 characters and 10 numbers. In this case, each character in the sequence can represent a single digit within the default 62 (26 + 26 + 10) if each character in the sequence is 0, 1, 2, ..., 9, a, b, c, ..., y, y, z. or capital and lowercase. Random numbers can be generated to create hash functions to form keys, or to make the sequence of keys unpredictable. Alternatively, users can suggest their own custom keys. For example, you can shorten the . Uri plans such as http, https, ftp, ftps, mailto, mms, rtmp, rtmpt, ed2k, pop, imap, nntp, news, ldap, gopher, dict and dns are being addressed by services such as URL shorteners, but not all URI plans can be shortened as of 2011. Typically, data: and JavaScript: URLs are not supported for security reasons (to combat attacks such as cross-site scripting and session hijacking). Some URL shortening services support the delivery of mailto URLs, as an alternative to solving munging, to prevent unwanted harvesting by web crawlers or bots. This can sometimes be done using a short URL from the CAPTCHA protection URL, but this is not common. [3] URL shortener manufacturers typically use domain hacking to register domain names with less popular or sneaky top-level domains to achieve short URLs and popular names. As a result, registering a myriad of URL shorteners in different countries has no relationship between the country in which the domain is registered and the URL shortener itself or the shortened link. The top domains of countries such as Libya (.ly), Samoa (.ws), Mongolia (.mn), Malaysia (.my) and Liechtenstein (.li) were used. In some cases, the political or cultural aspects of the country responsible for the top-level domain can be problematic for users and owners. [4] But this is usually not the case. The service can record inbound statistics, which others can view publicly. [5] Many providers of expiry and time-out service shortened URLs claim that they will never expire (there is always an implied fine print: unless we decide to discontinue this service - there is no contract to be violated by the free service regardless of the appointment -- regardless of remains in the business). A persistent URL is not necessarily a good thing. It affects security, and long-lived short URLs can circulate long after they stop pointing to related or existing targets. Sometimes short URLs are useful for providing them to someone via phone call for one-time access or file downloads, and are no longer needed within a few. Some URL shorteners offer a time-out service that expires after a specified period of time. Available services include common, easy-to- speak words with a lifetime of 5 minutes to 24 hours, urls that expire on a specified date or after a specified period of time, the creation of a url that is only five characters short-lived for typing on a smartphone, and restrictions by the author of the total number of uses of URLs, and password protection. Microsoft Security Overview recommends that you create short-lived URLs, but you should explicitly create them for security reasons rather than convenience. [6] An initial reference to history is u.S. Patent 6957224, explained ... A system, method, and computer program product to provide links to information located remotely on a remotely connected computer network. A uniform resource locator (URL) is registered on the server. The short link is associated with the registered URL. The linked abbreviation links and URLs are written to the registry database. When a request for a shortened link is received, it searches the registry database for the associated URL. If the abbreviation link is found to be associated with the URL, the URL is imported, otherwise an error message is returned. [7] The patent was filed in September 2000. The patent was issued in 2005, but the U.S. patent application will be released within 18 months of filing the application. Another reference to URL shortening was in 2001. [8] The first notable URL shortening service, TinyURL, was released in 2002. Its popularity has affected the creation of at least 100 similar websites,[9] although most are simply domain alternatives. Initially, Twitter automatically translated 26 characters or more URLs using TinyURL, but in 2009 it started using bit.ly in [10] and later developed its own URL shortening service, t.co.

Dhule-425405 Maharashtra, India Abstract : Online Social Networks (OSNs) have become fundamental parts of our online lives, and their popularity is increasing at a surprising rate every day. Growing popularity of Twitter has attracted the attention of attackers who attempt to manipulate the features provided by Twitter to gain some advantage, such as driving Twitter users to other websites that they post as short URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) in their tweets. Even short URLs are also used to avoid sharing overly long URLs and save limited text space in tweets. Significant numbers of URLs shared in the OSNs are shortened URLs. Despite of its potential benefits from genuine usage, attackers use shortened URLs to hide the malicious URLs, which direct users to malicious pages. Although, OSN service providers and URL shortening services utilize certain detection mechanisms to prevent malicious URLs from being shortened, research has found that they fail to do so effectively. In this paper, we developed mechanism to develop a machine learning classifier which detect malicious short URLs. And comparative analysis of detection rate with various classification algorithm, and but also with online detection on Virus Total.

  • The Internet As Infrastructure
    c h a p t e r 5 the internet as infrastructure c h r i s t i a n s a n d v i g In October 2010 the international web development community was thrown into disarray when it suddenly appeared that millions of common websites across the world would be required to satisfy the decency standards of Sharia, the religious law of Islam. 1 To understand how this unlikely situation came about requires that we know about the infrastructure of the Internet; it is a story about the collision of what is ultimately a variety of seemingly unrelated actors and actions, and this instance is comprehensible only aft er assembling all of them. Beginning with this example, this chapter will argue for the value of investi- gating the details of Internet infrastructure as a method of studying the Internet and society more generally. It will argue for the study of Internet Infrastructure and also for the value of considering the Internet infrastructurally, as a system foundational to other activities. A n i n f r a s t r u c t u r e e x a m p l e : f r o m the GET method to a woman’s bare arms Th e fi rst factors in this particular story about Sharia and the Web are technical. Over fi ft een years earlier, web server programmers on the www-talk mailing list anticipated that the Web would become more than just static web pages: they proposed a method for adding the information required for interactive web applications to the right side of a web page’s address or URL (this was called the “GET” smethod; see Robinson and Coar 2004 :33) .

  • Malicious URL Detection Using Machine Learning: a Survey
    Malicious URL Detection using Machine Learning: A Survey DOYEN SAHOO, School of Information Systems, Singapore Management University CHENGHAO LIU, School of Information Systems, Singapore Management University STEVEN C.H. HOI, School of Information Systems, Singapore Management University Salesforce Research Asia Malicious URL, a.k.a. malicious website, is a common and serious threat to cybersecurity. Malicious URLs host unsolicited content (spam, phishing, drive-by downloads, etc.) and lure unsuspecting users to become victims of scams (monetary loss, theft of private information, and malware installation), and cause losses of billions of dollars every year. It is imperative to detect and act on such threats in a timely manner. Traditionally, this detection is done mostly through the usage of blacklists. However, blacklists cannot be exhaustive, and lack the ability to detect newly generated malicious URLs. To improve the generality of malicious URL detectors, machine learning techniques have been explored with increasing attention in recent years. This article aims to provide a comprehensive survey and a structural understanding of Malicious URL Detection techniques using machine learning. We present the formal formulation of Malicious URL Detection as a machine learning task, and categorize and review the contributions of literature studies that addresses different dimensions of this problem (feature representation, algorithm design, etc.). Further, this article provides a timely and comprehensive survey for a range of different audiences, not only for machine learning researchers and engineers in academia, but also for professionals and practitioners in cybersecurity industry, to help them understand the state of the art and facilitate their own research and practical applications. We also discuss practical issues in system design, open research challenges, and point out important directions for future research.

One can have access to the details of any person easily through these social networking websites. No one is secure inside the social media sites. Social Networking sites are fast becoming popular in the recent years, among which Twitter is one of the fastest growing sites. It plays a double role of Online Social Networking and Micro Blogging. Spammers try to attack the twitter trending topics to harm the useful content. Social spamming is more successful as compared to the email spamming by using social relationship between the users. Spam detection is very important because Twitter is mainly used for the commercial advertisements. The spammers attack the private information of the user and also the reputation of the user is harmed. Spammers can be detected by using the content and user based attributes. Traditional classifiers are required for spam detection. Keywords— Twitter Spam Detection, Classification, Content based Detection. Natural language processing, tweets, machine learning, URLs. I. INTRODUCTION Social Networking is becoming more and more popular these days. It is a sort of platform through which people can share their ideas and thoughts.
