Inspiration
Phishing emails are one of the most widespread attacks, and we decided to do something about it.
What it does
By pasting an email into the submission box, you can quickly check an email for phishing attacks.
How we built it
We trained GPT-4o-mini on ~1000+ examples or both legit and dangerous emails, and use it to check the email.
Challenges we ran into
The backend didn't work for... way too long, and almost all of our training attempts (instead of the last one) failed verification/training.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We designed a functional and minimalistic frontend, utilized many languages in one project, and the leaps and bounds we made in the backend.
What we learned
The Frontend guy (Oliver) hadn't done HTML and CSS in over 2 years, so this was a funny (and stressful) experience for him. We also learned a lot about how you train an AI model.
What's next for Phishing Detector
A Better GUI by someone professional, and a more complex dataset for training.
