Early detection of risky domains via registration profiling

Abstract:

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for detecting malicious domains via registration profiling. The technique includes receiving domain registration information associated with a plurality of malicious domains and generating a plurality of domain clusters based on the domain registration information. The technique further includes comparing a domain registration profile associated with a candidate domain to the plurality of domain clusters to generate a similarity score and classifying the candidate domain as a malicious domain based on the similarity score.
