A Lightweight Hybrid MLP-Based Framework for Real-Time Phishing URL Detection Using Structural URL Features

arXiv:2606.00889v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Phishing attacks remain a major cybersecurity threat, exploiting deceptive URLs to steal sensitive user information. Traditional blacklist and rule-based detection approaches are reactive and often fail to identify newly emerging phishing URLs. This paper proposes a lightweight hybrid framework for real-time phishing URL detection that combines blacklist-based screening with a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) classifier operating solely on structural URL features. The framework extracts 16 URL-derived features capturing structural, domain-based, an
