🛡️ ScamiFy - AI-Powered Phishing Protection Chrome Extension

License: MIT Python 3.8+ TensorFlow 2.18.0 Chrome Extension

🎯 What is ScamiFy?

ScamiFy is an intelligent Chrome extension that protects users from phishing attacks using advanced AI models. It provides real-time protection while browsing and uses dual AI models for maximum accuracy:

  • 🧠 ANN Model: Lightning-fast hover detection (90.9% accuracy, <1 second)
  • 🔍 LSTM Model: Deep behavioral analysis (94.59% accuracy, 2-3 seconds)
  • 🛡️ Combined Protection: Up to 95%+ accuracy when both models agree

✨ Key Features

  • 🚀 Real-Time Protection: Analyzes URLs before you visit them
  • ⚡ Dual-Speed Detection: Fast warnings + deep analysis when needed
  • 🎯 Smart UI: Clear warnings with confidence levels and user choice
  • 🔧 Easy Setup: One-click installation with automated setup scripts
  • 📊 Behavioral Analysis: 24+ advanced features extracted via Selenium
  • 💾 Offline Capable: Works with cached predictions when backend is offline
  • 🎨 Modern Interface: Clean, professional warning system

� Super Quick Setup (for your friend!)

Option 1: One-Click Setup (Recommended)

  1. Download the project (ZIP or git clone)
  2. Run the setup: Right-click SETUP.ps1 → "Run with PowerShell"
  3. Start server: Double-click START_SERVER.bat
  4. Install extension: Chrome → chrome://extensions/ → Load the phishing-extension folder
  5. Done! 🎉

Option 2: Manual Setup

# Install Python 3.8+ from python.org first!
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ScamiFy.git
cd ScamiFy/Scamify-main/Extension/backend
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py

🎮 How to Use

  1. Start the backend: Run START_SERVER.bat (keep it running)
  2. Browse normally: ScamiFy works automatically
  3. Follow warnings: Red = dangerous, Yellow = suspicious, Green = safe
  4. You're always in control: You can proceed to any site if you want

Combined 95%+ Variable Maximum protection Best of both worlds

Feature Extraction (LSTM Model)

Our LSTM model analyzes 24 sophisticated features:

  • 🔐 SSL & Security: Certificate validation, HTTPS usage, security headers
  • 📋 Content Analysis: Form detection, password fields, suspicious keywords
  • 🔗 Link Structure: External redirects, JavaScript injections, iframe analysis
  • ⚡ Performance: Page load times, response codes, timeout detection
  • 🌐 Network: External requests, CDN usage, resource loading patterns

Backend API Endpoints

  • GET /health - System health and model status
  • POST /check - Fast ANN prediction (used by extension)
  • POST /predict_lstm - Deep LSTM analysis with feature extraction
  • POST /predict_both - Dual-model comparison and consensus
  • POST /analyze_url - Detailed analysis with risk breakdown

🛡️ Security & Privacy

Data Protection

  • 🔒 No Data Collection: All analysis performed locally
  • 🏠 Privacy First: URLs analyzed in isolated Selenium environment
  • ⚡ Minimal Logging: Only essential security events logged
  • 🔐 Secure Processing: Sandboxed analysis environment

Ethical Considerations

  • ✅ Responsible Disclosure: Works with security researchers
  • 🤝 User Consent: Always allows user to proceed with warnings
  • 📊 Transparent AI: Clear confidence levels and reasoning
  • 🔄 Continuous Updates: Regular model improvements and threat updates

🚀 Usage

  1. Hover Protection: Hover over links to see instant ANN analysis
  2. Click Protection: Click suspicious links to trigger LSTM deep analysis
  3. Warning System: Review security warnings and choose to proceed or block
  4. Seamless Browsing: Legitimate sites work normally without interruption

For Developers

# Use the API directly
import requests

# Quick ANN check
response = requests.post('http://127.0.0.1:5000/check', 
    json={'url': 'https://suspicious-site.com'})
result = response.json()
# {'prediction': 'Phishing', 'probability': 0.89}

🆘 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

❓ "Server not starting"

# Check if port 5000 is in use
netstat -ano | findstr :5000

# Kill process and restart
taskkill /F /PID <process_id>
python app.py

❓ "Extension not working"

  1. Make sure backend server is running (START_SERVER.bat)
  2. Check chrome://extensions/ - extension should be enabled
  3. Try reloading the extension
  4. Check browser console (F12) for errors

❓ "Python/TensorFlow errors"

# Reinstall with correct versions
pip uninstall tensorflow
pip install tensorflow==2.18.0

❓ "Models not loading"

  • Make sure all .h5 and .pkl files are present
  • Check file permissions
  • Try running with administrator privileges
