Go Phish

An instance of the frontend working

Inspiration

Our inspiration was from in highschool, some times teachers would fall for phishing attacks which would lead to their schools emails being used for phishing attacks, bypassing the spam filters of gmail.

What it does

Our application serves as a phishing detector for gmail. We use a list of known malware links, chatgpt, and an ai model to evaluate how likely an email is to be an phishing attack. One way to use the application is to set it up with your email. Or you can forward your questionable emails to our application.

How we built it

We build the application using tkinter and python. To use the gmail we used the gmail api to access the emails of a user. We felt an application would work better than a chrome extension because the gmail api would give us more freedom than having to scrape data with a chrome extension.

Challenges we ran into

One of the challenges was training our ai model, as the accuracy was where we wanted it to be. Another challenge we ran into was setting up notifications for when you would receive a new email.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we were able to deliver a product that completed all the goals we had set up at the beginning of the hackathon. This was our first time working with tkitner and we are happy we were able to display all the information on the gui
