# Malicious-Url-Detector
Leveraging this fine-tuned model, you can identify harmful links intended to exploit users—such as phishing or malware URLs—by accurately classifying them as either malicious or benign.
## Model Details
### Model Description
This model is a **fine-tuned** version of [distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased](https://huggingface.co/distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased), adapted specifically for malicious URL detection. It employs a text-classification approach to distinguish between benign and malicious URLs. By learning patterns from a curated dataset of phishing, malware, and legitimate URLs, it aims to help users and organizations bolster their defenses against a range of cyber threats.
- **Developed by:** Eason Liu
- **Language:** English
- **Model Type:** Text Classification (URL-focused)
- **Finetuned From:** [distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased](https://huggingface.co/distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased)
## Intended Use
### Direct Use
- **URL Classification:** Detect whether a URL is malicious (e.g., phishing, malware) or benign.
- **Security Pipelines:** Integrate into email filtering systems or website scanning tools to flag harmful links.
### Out-of-Scope Use
- General text classification tasks not related to malicious URL detection.
- Tasks requiring more nuanced context beyond the URL string (e.g., domain reputation, real-time link behavior).
## How to Get Started
Below is a quick example showing how to use this model with the 🤗 Transformers `pipeline`:
```python
from transformers import pipeline
# Initialize the text-classification pipeline with this fine-tuned model
classifier = pipeline(
"text-classification",
model="Eason918/malicious-url-detector",
truncation=True
)
# Example URL
url = "http://example.com/suspicious-link"
# Classify the URL
result = classifier(url)
print(result)
