| # | Feature | Why it matters | Extraction | |---|---------|----------------|------------| |13| | www.mazabd.click is a new TLD ( .click ) frequently used by malicious actors. | tldextract.extract(subject).registered_domain | |14| Domain Age (in days) | Newly registered domains are riskier. | Use WHOIS API → creation_date → today - creation_date . | |15| Domain Reputation Score | Public blacklists (VirusTotal, Google Safe Browsing) give a numeric trust rating. | Query API → reputation_score . | |16| Top‑Level‑Domain (TLD) Popularity | .click , .xyz , .top are over‑represented in phishing. | Encode TLD as categorical (one‑hot) or assign risk weight (e.g., .com =0, others=1). | |17| Number of Sub‑domains | More sub‑domains → higher chance of URL‑shortening or obfuscation. | subject_url.count('.') - 1 . | |18| Presence of Hyphens in Domain | Hyphens are often used to mimic legitimate names ( mazabd ). | '−' in domain (boolean). | |19| URL Length | Very long URLs are suspicious. | len(url) | |20| URL Entropy | Randomly generated strings boost entropy. | Same entropy formula as above, applied to url . | |21| IDN / Punycode | Internationalised domain names can hide malicious domains. | url.startswith('xn--') . | |22| SSL Certificate Validity | Self‑signed or expired certs are a warning sign (if you later fetch the URL). | Use ssl / requests to check cert.notAfter . | |23| IP‑Address in URL | Direct IP links are uncommon in legitimate business mail. | re.search(r'\b\d1,3(?:\.\d1,3)3\b', url) . | 3. Structural / Formatting Features | # | Feature | Why it matters | Extraction | |---|---------|----------------|------------| |24| Number of Hyphens ( - ) | Overuse of hyphens often separates “spammy” tokens. | subject.count('-') | |25| Pattern of Numeric Tokens | The sequence 840 -2024 is a “number‑dash‑year” pattern typical of fake invoice titles. | Regex: r'\b\d3,\s*-\s*\d4\b' → boolean | |26| Presence of Ellipsis ( ... ) | Indicates truncation; spammers often hide the rest of a malicious URL. | subject.endswith('...') | |27| Bracket/Parentheses Ratio | Unbalanced punctuation is a heuristic for malformed messages. | subject.count('(') != subject.count(')') | |28| Whitespace Anomalies (multiple spaces, tabs) | Spam generators sometimes add extra spaces to bypass simple filters. | re.search(r'\s2,', subject) | |29| Encoding Flags (e.g., =?UTF-8?B?…?= ) | MIME‑encoded subjects can hide malicious strings. | Detect with email.header.decode_header . | |30| Subject Prefix / Tag Count | Tags like [Urgent] , [Notice] can be abused. | re.findall(r'\[.*?\]', subject) → count. | 4. Aggregated / Meta‑Features You can combine the raw values into risk scores :
