Phishing Detection System

Overview

The Phishing Detection System is a web-based application designed to help users identify malicious phishing websites and ensure their safety while browsing. This system alerts users when they click on a suspicious link, notifying them of potential phishing threats. The backend sends phishing alerts to a server for monitoring and logging.

The app consists of:

  • A client-side interface where users can click on links to test whether they are safe or malicious.
  • A Node.js server that logs phishing alerts and responds to requests.

Features

  • Real-time phishing alerts: Detects phishing links and warns users immediately.
  • Backend alerting: Sends phishing reports to the backend server for tracking.
  • User-friendly interface: Modern UI with visual alerts and animations.
  • Safe link identification: Provides positive feedback for safe links.

Tech Stack

  • Frontend: HTML, CSS (with custom styles), JavaScript (for interactivity)
  • Backend: Node.js with Express.js
  • Libraries:
    • Express: For building the server.
    • Body-Parser: To parse incoming request bodies.
    • CORS: For enabling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing.
    • Orbitron Font: For a futuristic look on the UI.

Running the App
