Malicious URL Detector

Malicious URL Detector is a web application designed to identify potentially dangerous or malicious URLs using multiple services for a comprehensive safety profile. This tool integrates with external APIs, including VirusTotal and this Hugging Face API, to provide a robust analysis of URLs.

Features

• URL Validation: Ensures that the input is a properly structured URL.
• VirusTotal Integration: Checks the URL against VirusTotal's database and analysis.
• Hugging Face Integration: Uses machine learning (provided by a model on Hugging Face) to predict the likelihood of a URL being malicious.
• Comprehensive Results: Provides detailed results, including the response from external services and overall safety rating.
• User-Friendly Interface: Easy-to-use web interface for inputting URLs and receiving feedback.

You can either use the web-app version here or run it locally (Note: if you run it locally, you will have to get your own API keys for VirusTotal and HuggingFace).
