    The document describes a project to build a binary classification model to detect phishing websites. A dataset containing features of over 11,000 websites is provided, including URL parameters and a label for each site. The project tasks are to 1) build a logistic regression model to classify sites as phishing or not using Scikit-Learn, and 2) calculate the accuracy on test data. Additional tasks include training models using only selected features and comparing accuracies.

    Project - Phishing Detector using LR

    Description :

    The dataset is a text file which provides the following resources that can be used as inputs for
    model building :

    1. A collection of website URLs for 11000+ websites. Each sample has 30 website
    parameters and a class label identifying it as a phishing website or not (1 or -1).

    2. The code template containing these code blocks:


    a. Import modules (Part 1)
    b. Load data function + input/output field descriptions

    The dataset also serves as an input for project scoping and tries to specify the functional and
    non-functional requirements for it.

    Background of the Problem Statement :

    You are expected to write the code for a binary classification model (phishing website or not)
    using Python Scikit-Learn that trains on the data and calculates the accuracy score on the test
    data. You have to use one or more of the classification algorithms to train a model on the
    phishing website dataset.

    Dataset Size :​ ​11055 rows x 31 columns

    Hint :

    ● The dataset is a “.txt” file with no headers and has only the column values.

    ● The actual column-wise header is described above and, if needed, you can add the
    header manually.

    ● The header list is as follows :


    [ 'UsingIP', 'LongURL', 'ShortURL', 'Symbol@', 'Redirecting//',
    'PrefixSuffix-', 'SubDomains', 'HTTPS', 'DomainRegLen', 'Favicon',
    'NonStdPort', 'HTTPSDomainURL', 'RequestURL', 'AnchorURL',
    'LinksInScriptTags', 'ServerFormHandler', 'InfoEmail', 'AbnormalURL',
    'WebsiteForwarding', 'StatusBarCust', 'DisableRightClick',
    'UsingPopupWindow', 'IframeRedirection', 'AgeofDomain',
    'DNSRecording', 'WebsiteTraffic', 'PageRank', 'GoogleIndex',
    'LinksPointingToPage', 'StatsReport', 'class' ]
    Questions to be answered with analysis :

    1. Write the code for a binary classification model (phishing website or not) using Python
    Scikit-Learn that trains on the data and calculates the accuracy score on the test data.

    2. Use one or more of the classification algorithms to train a model on the phishing website
    dataset.

    Project Guidelines :

    1. Initiation :
    ● Begin by creating a new ipynb file and load the dataset in it.

    2. Exercise 1 :
    ● Build a phishing website classifier using Logistic Regression with “C” parameter =
    100.
    ● Use 70% of data as training data and the remaining 30% as test data.
    [ Hint: Use Scikit-Learn library LogisticRegression ]
    [ Hint: Refer to the logistic regression tutorial taught earlier in the course ]
    ● Print count of misclassified samples in the test data prediction as well as the
    accuracy score of the model.

    3. Exercise 2 :
    ● Train with only two input parameters - parameter Prefix_Suffix and 13
    URL_of_Anchor.
    ● Check accuracy using the test data and compare the accuracy with the previous
    value.
    ● Plot the test samples along with the decision boundary when trained with index 5
    and index 13 parameters.
