Sentinel Phish Detect

Detect phishing URLs instantly using intelligent threat simulation — built fully on Bolt.new.

Comment

🧠 Inspiration

Phishing attacks continue to be a major cybersecurity threat — from deceptive emails to fake login portals, users are tricked into giving away sensitive information every day. I wanted to build a solution that helps anyone instantly detect potentially dangerous URLs without needing technical knowledge.

🧠 About

Sentinel Phish Detect is a no-code phishing scanner built fully within the Bolt.new ecosystem for the Bolt Hackathon 2024. The goal is to simulate intelligent phishing detection logic using only Bolt's visual tools — no external APIs or backend code.

This project helps users identify suspicious URLs with a friendly, interactive frontend.

💡 What It Does

Sentinel Phish Detect is a web app that scans URLs and classifies them as Safe, Suspicious, or Malicious using simulated AI-based logic. Users paste a URL and get:

  • A security verdict (color-coded)
  • A confidence score
  • A clear reason for the decision

All logic is built visually using Bolt.new — no external APIs or databases involved.

⚙️ How I Built It

This project was built entirely in Bolt.new, using its visual editor, conditional logic blocks, and design tools. The core functionality includes:

  • Keyword and domain-based rule simulation
  • URL input and validation
  • UI blocks for result cards
  • Dynamic confidence scoring
  • Loading animation and system status footer

Deployed using Netlify, with full responsiveness for mobile and desktop.

✨ Features

✅ Paste and scan any URL

🚦 Simulated classification: Safe, Suspicious, Malicious

📊 Confidence score & detection reason

🧠 No-code logic using Bolt flow blocks

⚡ Fast, responsive UI (mobile + desktop)

🟢 System status + “Built on Bolt” badge

🚧 Challenges

  • Creating accurate phishing rules without third-party APIs
  • Making the logic visual and no-code using only Bolt blocks
  • Designing a user-friendly UI within Bolt’s layout constraints
  • Keeping the project within the “one prompt” spirit of the challenge

📈 What I Learned

  • Bolt.new is incredibly powerful for prototyping and even production-level frontends
  • Simulating logic can be just as informative for user education
  • Less code = faster iterations and less friction for beginners

🌐 Built With

  • Bolt.new
  • Netlify
  • Markdown, CSS (via Bolt styling)
  • GitHub for version reference
