Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for detecting malicious web addresses are inefficient in identifying hidden content, prone to rule evasion, resource-intensive, and limited to personal computers and emails, failing to detect new or future malicious web addresses.

Innovation Solution

A link characteristic analysis-based method that traverses internal and external links using a crawler, identifies normal or abnormal web content through connection or disconnection states, and uses a digital chain principle to distinguish between organically interconnected normal and disconnected abnormal content, employing AI for validation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If rule-based detection method is used, then detection speed is improved, but detection accuracy deteriorates due to inability to detect new or changed malicious web addresses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection speedVSAvoiddetection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by proactively crawling and storing normal web content and its internal links before malicious changes occur. This enables the system to detect new or modified malicious web addresses by comparing current content against the stored baseline of normal content, rather than relying on pre-defined rules that can be evaded by attackers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If user navigation method is used, then ease of operation is improved, but detection capability deteriorates due to inability to detect hidden content without internal links

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddetection capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the web content into two categories: normal web content that should have internal links and hidden content that lacks internal links. By analyzing the presence or absence of internal links as a distinguishing feature, the system can detect hidden malicious content without requiring users to manually navigate through the website structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Quantity of substance

If rule-based detection is used, then storage requirement is reduced, but adaptability deteriorates due to inability to detect new malicious web addresses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage requirementVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically crawling, storing, and analyzing web content to build its own detection capabilities. Instead of relying on externally maintained rule databases, the system independently collects normal web content patterns and uses this self-acquired data to detect anomalies, enabling it to adapt to new malicious web addresses without external intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Measurement precision

If antivirus or email security tool is used, then detection accuracy is improved, but scope is limited to personal computers and emails

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidscope
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves universality by designing a web content detection method that can be applied across all websites without being limited to specific platforms like personal computers or emails. The system analyzes web content structure and internal link patterns universally, making it applicable to any website regardless of its hosting platform or access method.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
