Abstract Details

2023, Master of Science, University of Toledo, Cyber Security.
With the rapid increase of social network spam, it's essential to empower users with the tools to detect the harmful spam effectively. However, existing tools cannot meet the requirements. In this paper, we propose and develop a live detection tool that can detect ham and spam text and images from social networks, this tool will be trained on user collected data (Image and Text) using different classifiers, where text and images are pre-processed and then passed onto the classifier that the user can choose, the user is then able to save the model and load it whenever they want to use a social network, where this tool will show the user a notification alerting them whether the post they are looking at is spam or ham before they even get the chance to read the text or look at the image, thus protecting them from clicking on malicious links that might harm their computer and steal their data. Evaluation results have demonstrated the effectiveness of our tool.
