Abstract

On every social networking site, there are people using fake accounts for a variety of reasons. The many characteristics of false profiles and the strategies they use to accomplish their objectives continue to evolve with the passage of time. On the one hand, new detection methods and systems are being devised, while on the other side, adversaries adopt sophisticated tactics in order to dodge from these detection systems. In the sub-sections that follow, we will have a short discussion about some of the most significant difficulties linked with the identification of phoney profiles in OSNs. Here in our research work we are mainly focus on In-stagram. As majority of the fake profile on this platform is high as compared to others. In this research paper we have represented and implemented the novel hybrid model machine learning technique for the fake profile identification of Instagram.
