ABSTRACT

Phishing attacks remain one of the most prevalent cyber threats, targeting individuals and
organizations to steal sensitive information. Traditional rule-based detection systems are often inadequate in
identifying sophisticated phishing techniques. This project proposes an Intelligent Phishing Detection System
leveraging Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to classify and detect phishing websites with high accuracy.
The system analyzes various features such as URL structure, domain characteristics, and content-based
attributes to distinguish between legitimate and malicious websites. By employing supervised learning
techniques like Random Forest, Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Deep Learning models, the system
aims to achieve robust and real-time phishing detection. The proposed solution is evaluated using benchmark
datasets, and its performance is compared against existing methods. The results demonstrate the effectiveness
of the system in mitigating phishing attacks, making it a valuable tool for enhancing cybersecurity.
INTRODUCTION

Phishing is a form of cyberattack where attackers impersonate legitimate entities to deceive users into
revealing sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, or personal data. With the
increasing reliance on digital platforms, phishing attacks have become more sophisticated, evading
traditional detection mechanisms. Machine Learning (ML) offers a promising solution by enabling the
development of intelligent systems capable of learning from data and identifying patterns indicative of
phishing attempts. This project focuses on designing and implementing an ML-based phishing
detection system that can adapt to evolving attack strategies. By leveraging features such as URL
anomalies, domain age, SSL certificates, and webpage content, the system aims to provide accurate and
real-time detection of phishing websites.
OBJECTIVES

1. Primary Objective: To design and develop an intelligent phishing detection system using
machine learning algorithms that can accurately classify websites as phishing or legitimate.

2. Secondary Objectives: To analyze and extract relevant features from URLs and webpage
content for phishing detection. To evaluate the performance of various ML algorithms, including
Random Forest, SVM, and Neural Networks, in detecting phishing websites. To compare the
proposed system with existing phishing detection methods in terms of accuracy, precision, recall,
and F1-score. To create a user-friendly interface for real-time phishing detection.
