A CNN-based model for detecting website defacements

Abstract

Over last decade, defacement attacks to websites and web applications have been considered a critical threat in many private and public organizations. A defacement attack can result in a severe effect to the owner’s website, such as instant discontinuity of website operations and damage of the owner's fame, which in turn may lead to big financial damages. Many solutions have been studied and deployed for monitoring and delecting defacement attacks, such as those based on simple comparison methods and those based on complicated methods.
