Web-fraud is one of the most unpleasant features of today's Internet. Two well-known examples of fraudulent activities on the web are phishing and typosquatting. Their effects range from relatively benign (such as unwanted ads) to downright…
Dot-science was launched in 2015 as a new academic top-level domain (TLD) aimed to provide 'a dedicated, easily accessible location for global Internet users with an interest in science'. The main objective of this work is to find out the…
Understanding web co-location is essential for various reasons. For instance, it can help one to assess the collateral damage that denial-of-service attacks or IP-based blocking can cause to the availability of co-located web sites.…
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of global web usage patterns based on data from SimilarWeb, a leading source for estimating web traffic. Leveraging a dataset comprising over 250,000 websites, we estimate the total web traffic…
Web measurements are a well-established methodology for assessing the security and privacy landscape of the Internet. However, existing top lists of popular websites are unlabeled and lack semantic information about the nature of the…
How, in 20 short years, did we go from the promise of the internet to democratize access to knowledge and make the world more understanding and enlightened, to the litany of daily horrors that is today's internet? We are awash in…
In this paper we present a preliminary analysis over the largest publicly accessible web dataset: the Common Crawl Corpus. We measure nine web characteristics from two levels of granularity using MapReduce and we comment on the initial…
In the recommendation systems, there are multiple business domains to meet the diverse interests and needs of users, and the click-through rate(CTR) of each domain can be quite different, which leads to the demand for CTR prediction…
Using a total of 4,774 hospitals categorized as government, non-profit, and proprietary hospitals, this study provides the first measurement-based analysis of hospitals' websites and connects the findings with data breaches through a…
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the foundation of a human-usable Internet, responding to client queries for host-names with corresponding IP addresses and records. Traditional DNS is also unencrypted, and leaks user information to network…
We explored leveraging state-of-the-art deep learning, big data, and natural language processing to enhance the detection of vulnerable web server versions. Focusing on improving accuracy and specificity over rule-based systems, we…
Internet censorship continues to impact billions of people worldwide, and measurement of it remains an important focus of research. However, most Internet censorship measurements have focused solely on the IPv4 Internet infrastructure. Yet,…
Privacy leaks are an unfortunate and an integral part of the current Internet domain name resolution. Each DNS query generated by a user reveals -- to one or more DNS servers -- the origin and target of that query. Over time, a user's…
Social media play a pivotal role in disseminating web content, particularly during elections, yet our understanding of the association between demographic factors and information sharing online remains limited. Here, we introduce a unique…
A large number of URLs are made public by various platforms for security analysis, archiving, and paste sharing -- such as VirusTotal, URLScan.io, Hybrid Analysis, the Wayback Machine, and RedHunt. These services may unintentionally expose…
Leveraging datasets available to learn a model with high generalization ability to unseen domains is important for computer vision, especially when the unseen domain's annotated data are unavailable. We study a novel and practical problem…
A large amount of data on the WWW remains inaccessible to crawlers of Web search engines because it can only be exposed on demand as users fill out and submit forms. The Hidden web refers to the collection of Web data which can be accessed…
Free web proxies promise anonymity and censorship circumvention at no cost. Several websites publish lists of free proxies organized by country, anonymity level, and performance. These lists index hundreds of thousand of hosts discovered…
When domains, which represent underlying data distributions, vary during training and testing processes, deep neural networks suffer a drop in their performance. Domain generalization allows improvements in the generalization performance…
This paper examines free content websites (FCWs) and premium content websites (PCWs) in different countries, comparing them to general websites. The focus is on the distribution of malicious websites and their correlation with the national…
