Phishing attacks digital trace analysis for security awareness

Abstract

The presented work contains recommendations for collecting a digital trail of phishing attacks. Some examples of algorithms for collecting a digital trace, studied indicators, and collected data are considered. The features of working with a digital trace are given. The authors also provide a set of functions that an attacked system must have in order to successfully collect evidence of a phishing attack. There are also specific recommendations for working in the area of increasing user awareness in this area. The aim of the work is both to simplify the collection of evidence of such attacks, and to study the possibility of increasing the security of interaction between participants in network educational projects that are the object of social engineering attacks now. For this purpose, the examples given are tied to the properties of the object under study and are considered based on practical recommendations.
