# Phishing Detection

Smart detection of phishing URLs, and potential scam links.

## How Detection Works

Phishing detection runs every posted URL against a constantly updated database of known phishing domains and uses pattern analysis to identify suspicious URLs that mimic legitimate sites.

## Detection Layers

- **Known Database:** Cross-references URLs against a real-time feed of confirmed phishing domains.

- **Pattern Matching:** Detects lookalike domains using character substitution (o -> 0, l -> 1) and homoglyph analysis.

- **Heuristic Scanning:** Evaluates URL structure, TLD reputation, and page content signals for novel phishing attempts.
