The emergence of illegal (gambling, pornography, and attraction) websites seriously threatens the security of society. Due to the concealment of illegal websites, it is difficult to obtain labeled data with high quantity. Meanwhile, most illegal websites usually disguise themselves to avoid detection; for example, some gambling websites may visually resemble gaming websites. However, existing methods ignore the means of camouflage in a single modality. To address the above problems, this paper proposes MEDAL, a multimodality-based effective data augmentation framework for illegal website identification. First, we established an illegal website identification framework based on tri-training that combines information from different modalities (including image, text, and HTML) while making full use of numerous unlabeled data. Then, we designed a multimodal mutual assistance module that is integrated with the tri-training framework to mitigate the introduction of error information resulting from an unbalanced single-modal classifier performance in the tri-training process. Finally, the experimental results on the self-developed dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, performing well on accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 metrics.

Penetration Testing (PT), a key network security assessment technique that simulates real cyber attacks to identify vulnerabilities, is traditionally manual and expert-dependent, leading to low efficiency and high costs. Automating and intelligentizing PT has thus become a critical research focus, yet current technologies face two core challenges: lack of standardized, reusable simulated network scenarios (hindering unified experiments and result comparison) and intelligent models' failure to integrate historical decision experience or utilize attack chain temporal correlations (restricting adaptability). To address these, this study proposes an intelligent PT method integrating knowledge graph-driven automated scenario construction and historical decision enhancement. Two innovations are introduced: a network knowledge graph-based mechanism to generate standardized, real-characteristic testing environments; and a historical decision enhancement scheme with a collaborative state temporal processing and action filtering architecture. Experimental results show the method reduces average iterations by 69%, eliminates redundant executions, and enhances decision rationality, offering a new path for automated PT advancement.
