The Phishing Link Scanner is a Python-based tool designed to help identify potential phishing websites. By analyzing URL structures and comparing domains against a list of known legitimate domains, the scanner can detect misspelled domain names and suspicious subdomains that are commonly used in phishing attacks. This tool aims to enhance online security by providing a method to quickly and accurately identify phishing attempts.
Phishing is a cyber attack technique where attackers create fake websites that mimic legitimate ones to steal sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. This project aims to help detect such phishing URLs by checking for domain similarities and other characteristics.
