# PhishWatch

Phishing Site Detection using a custom Algorithm.

## Introduction

Phishing is a social engineering attack often used to steal user data, including login credentials and credit card numbers. It occurs when an attacker, masquerading as a trusted entity, dupes a victim into opening an email, instant message, or text message. The recipient is then tricked into clicking a malicious link, which can lead to the installation of malware, the freezing of the system as part of a ransomware attack or the revealing of sensitive information. This seriously threatens the security of the user and the organization. 

## Problem Statement

The problem statement is to implement an algorithm to identify potential Phishing Sites

## Solution

The solution is to implement an Algorithm to identify potential Phishing Sites. The algorithm is implemented using the following steps:

- [x] Check if the site is using HTTPS

- [x] Check if the URL is not a 404

- [ ] Check if the domain is blacklisted

- [ ] Check if the domain is using a free hosting service

- [x] Check if the domain name is registered for more than a year

- [x] Check if the domain has a valid DNS record

- [x] Check if the URL is using a URL-shortening service

- [x] Check if the URL is using a website forwarding service

- [x] Check if the domain has valid SSL certificates

- [x] Check if the domain has a favicon

- [x] Check if the domain is using a missing HTTP Secure Headers
