Email spoofing detection platform
Why Choose This Project?
Email spoofing is one of the most common techniques used in phishing attacks, where attackers forge the sender’s email address to appear as a trusted source. Traditional spam filters often fail to detect sophisticated spoofed emails.
This project provides a web-based platform (or optional email/browser plugin) that detects spoofed emails by analyzing headers, sender policies (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and anomalies—helping protect users and organizations from fraud, phishing, and scams.
What You Get in This Project

A web-based application to analyze incoming emails.
-
Spoof detection reports with detailed explanations.
-
Risk scoring system (Safe, Suspicious, Dangerous).
-
Learning mode to educate users on spoofing indicators.
-
Optional integration with Gmail/Outlook using APIs.

How Email Spoofing Detection Works
-
User Submits Email
-
Paste raw email headers OR fetch automatically via IMAP/POP3.
-
-
Header & Policy Analysis
-
Parses headers.
-
Checks sender IP vs. SPF DNS records.
-
Verifies DKIM signatures.
-
Validates DMARC alignment.
-
-
Hashing & Anomaly Check
-
Compares
Fromvs.Return-Path. -
Detects abnormal sending servers or geolocation mismatches.
-
-
Scoring & Reporting
-
Assigns spoof score.
-
Generates detailed breakdown:
-
SPF: PASS / FAIL
-
DKIM: PASS / FAIL
-
DMARC: PASS / FAIL
-
