Phishing Email Detection with NLP

Classifies emails as phishing from their body text and headers

2-3 weeks build

Overview

A text classifier that reads the email itself, not just its links: it combines TF-IDF and linguistic features from the body with header signals such as sender and reply-to mismatches and authentication results. Trained on public phishing and ham corpora, it explains each decision by surfacing the words and header facts that pushed it toward phishing.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Works on email body and headers, complementing a URL detector
  • 02TF-IDF plus urgency, greeting and mismatch linguistic features
  • 03Header checks for sender spoofing and reply-to divergence
  • 04Trained on public phishing and legitimate email corpora
  • 05Explanation panel highlighting the tokens behind each verdict

Module breakdown

  1. 01

    Parsing

    Splits raw emails into headers, body text and metadata.

  2. 02

    Features

    Builds text vectors plus header-mismatch and tone signals.

  3. 03

    Classifier

    Trains and compares models with precision and recall.

  4. 04

    Explanation

    Shows the words and headers driving each classification.

  5. 05

    Inbox demo

    Pastes an email and returns a phishing probability.

After this, you will be able to

  • Explain how body language and headers each signal phishing
  • Defend this text model against the URL-only approach
  • Demo classifying real phishing and legitimate emails
