## Overview

This is a Flask phishing-URL scoring app. A user submits a URL to the root route; the app extracts 30 URL and website features, passes them to a loaded classifier, and renders a safety score in the page. Feature extraction includes URL/page checks and domain or reputation signals. The excerpts establish the app-to-extractor and app-to-model flow, plus several external lookups; the template contents and most feature implementations were not sampled, so those details are kept at subsystem level.

Main entry points: [`link--master/feature.py`](https://github.com/sakshamgupta154/phishingwebsitedetection/blob/main/link--master/feature.py) (Feature extraction), [`link--master/app.py`](https://github.com/sakshamgupta154/phishingwebsitedetection/blob/main/link--master/app.py) (Scoring route), [`link--master/templates/index.html`](https://github.com/sakshamgupta154/phishingwebsitedetection/blob/main/link--master/templates/index.html) (Result page), [`link--master/pickle/model.pkl`](https://github.com/sakshamgupta154/phishingwebsitedetection/blob/main/link--master/pickle/model.pkl) (Phishing classifier)
