With the developing technology, the issue of cyber security has become one of the most common and current issues in recent years. Spam URLs are one of the most common and dangerous issues for cybersecurity. Spam URLs are one of the most widely used attacks to defraud users. These attacks cause users to suffer monetary losses, steal private information, and install malicious software on their devices. It is very important to detect such threats promptly and to take precautions against these threats. Detection of malicious URLs is mostly done by using blacklists. However, these lists are insufficient to detect newly created URLs. In recent years, machine learning techniques have been developed to overcome this deficiency. In this study, URL classification was made using different machine learning techniques. In the study, 9 different classifiers were preferred for URL classification. The performances of the classifiers were compared in the URL classification process. In addition, similar studies in the literature have been comprehensively examined and these studies have been discussed. In addition, since the preparation of data sets in the natural language processing process has a great effect on the training of models, these steps are discussed in detail.
