The files in this repo will be used for my "Machine Learning with Phishing" series on my blog, please refer to the original blog posts to have a better understanding of this project.
The dataset used contains the 10 'baseline features' that were selected in this study.
Here are the features used for this project:

7 | SubmitInfoToEmail | Binary | Check if HTML source code contains the HTML "mailto" function. |
8 | PctExtResourceUrlsRT | Categorical | Counts the percentage of external resource URLs in webpage HTML source code. Apply rules and thresholds to generate value. |
