Motivation

I naturally gravitate toward projects of this nature because I am interested in cybersecurity.

Each student chose a topic that interests them personally when our data science course coordinator instructed us to produce a project utilising machine learning methods.

So I started looking for tough assignments that were related to cybersecurity so that I could learn new things and subjects.

When I first learned about this phishing website detection, I made the decision to do this project in order to learn more about phishing websites and social engineering.
