PHISH

A Comprehensive AI-Powered Phishing Detection and Prevention Platform PISH is a Python-driven application that integrates with a Gmail account to fetch emails and determine whether they are phishing or legitimate using a pre-trained machine learning algorithm.

• Phishing Detection: Utilizes advanced machine learning algorithms to assess emails for phishing content with high accuracy.
• Email Retrieval: Connects to Gmail via IMAP to fetch emails based on customizable search filters.
• Secure Access: Ensures secure integration by using encrypted credentials for email account access.
• User-Friendly Interface: Features a Flask-based web platform for seamless user interaction, including credential input and email analysis.
• Organized Results: Displays analysis outcomes in a structured table for better readability and understanding.
• Customizable Criteria: Allows users to tailor email search parameters to suit their specific needs.
• Scalability: Designed to handle large volumes of emails efficiently for analysis.

USAGE WORKFLOW:

Step 1: Email Extraction

• Access the web app and log in using your Gmail address and app password.
• The email_extract.py script:
  • Establishes a connection to Gmail using the IMAP protocol.
  • Retrieves emails based on specified filters (e.g., sender’s email address).
  • Extracts the plain text content of each email and records it in a file named emails.csv.

Step 2: Email Analysis

• After extraction, the email_analyzer.py script:
  • Cleanses the email content by removing HTML tags, URLs, special characters, and converting it to lowercase.
  • Employs a pre-trained machine learning model and vectorizer to determine if each email is phishing (1) or legitimate (0).
  • Stores the results in a file called classified_emails.csv.

Step 3: Viewing Results

• Visit the "Results" section of the web app to explore the analysis outcomes, presented in an organized table.
