# 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
