ABSTRACT
Redirection spam presents a web page with false content to a
crawler for indexing, but automatically redirects the browser to a
different web page. Redirection is usually immediate (on page
load) but may also be triggered by a timer or a harmless user
event such as a mouse move. JavaScript redirection is the most
notorious of redirection techniques and is hard to detect as many
of the prevalent crawlers are script-agnostic. In this paper, we
study common JavaScript redirection spam techniques on the
web. Our findings indicate that obfuscation techniques are very
prevalent among JavaScript redirection spam pages. These
obfuscation techniques limit the effectiveness of static analysis
and static feature based systems. Based on our findings, we
recommend a robust counter measure using a light weight
JavaScript parser and engine.
