# Malicious Email & URL Detector
|
14 |
+
|
15 |
+
This is the first version of **Malicious-URL-Detector**, a web application built using Streamlit that leverages a fine-tuned deep learning model to detect malicious emails and URLs. The application analyzes input text—whether it’s the content of an email or a URL string—and classifies it as either malicious (e.g., phishing or malware) or benign.
|
16 |
+
|
17 |
+
## How It Works
|
18 |
+
|
19 |
+
- **Model Integration:**
|
20 |
+
The app uses a model fine-tuned from [distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased](https://huggingface.co/distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased) for text classification. The model has been trained on a curated dataset comprising phishing, malware, and legitimate examples, enabling it to recognize suspicious patterns and linguistic cues.
|
21 |
+
|
22 |
+
- **User Interface:**
|
23 |
+
Built with Streamlit, the web app offers a simple and intuitive interface where users can paste the content of an email or a URL. Upon submission, the model processes the input and returns a prediction indicating whether the text is malicious or benign, along with a confidence score.
|
24 |
+
|
25 |
+
- **Real-Time Detection:**
|
26 |
+
Designed for real-time threat detection, the application helps organizations and individual users quickly identify potentially harmful links before they are accessed, thereby contributing to enhanced cybersecurity defenses.
|
27 |
+
|
