CybersecurityPhishingOpenSourcePythonFlaskMachineLearningWebDevelopmentFeedback
The author has developed an open-source tool to detect phishing URLs by analyzing their structure without visiting the page. The tool, built with Python and Flask for the backend and HTML/CSS/JS for the frontend, uses a Random Forest model trained with datasets of phishing and legitimate URLs. It provides a confidence score and operates locally through a simple web interface. The author plans to add additional features such as tracking redirects and automatic link extraction.
