# Malicious Email & URL Detector

This is the first version of **Malicious-URL-Detector**, a web application built using Streamlit that leverages a fine-tuned deep learning model to detect malicious emails and URLs. The application analyzes input text—whether it’s the content of an email or a URL string—and classifies it as either malicious (e.g., phishing or malware) or benign.

## How It Works

- **Model Integration:**  
  The app uses a model fine-tuned from [distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased](https://huggingface.co/distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased) for text classification. The model has been trained on a curated dataset comprising phishing, malware, and legitimate examples, enabling it to recognize suspicious patterns and linguistic cues.

- **User Interface:**  
  Built with Streamlit, the web app offers a simple and intuitive interface where users can paste the content of an email or a URL. Upon submission, the model processes the input and returns a prediction indicating whether the text is malicious or benign, along with a confidence score.

- **Real-Time Detection:**  
  Designed for real-time threat detection, the application helps organizations and individual users quickly identify potentially harmful links before they are accessed, thereby contributing to enhanced cybersecurity defenses.

## Getting Started

To run the application locally or deploy it on Hugging Face Spaces, follow these steps:

1. **Clone the Repository:**  
   Clone this repository to your local machine.
   ```bash
   git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/your-username/Malicious-URL-Detector
   cd Malicious-URL-Detector
