What it does

Gone Fishin' is a website that takes your email body as input and determines whether or not the email is a phishing scam.

How we built it

Gone Fishin' leverages Machine Learning a machine learning model, trained using a Random Forest Classifier, to determine whether or not the email is a phishing scam.

Challenges we ran into

Connecting our application to the website caused some trouble. We also tried several different methods to train the model. We first tried to use a Gaussian Naive Bayes Classifier, then the Multinomial Naive Bayes Classifier, and we finally landed on the Random Forest Classifier.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Our machine-learning model was trained to reach 96% accuracy.

What we learned

We learned how to connect front-end and back-end, how to train machine learning models, and how to make a website.
