Wong PortilloSumario: Nowadays phishing is as serious a problem as any other, but it has intensified a lot in the current coronavirus pandemic, a time when more than ever we all use the Internet even to make payments daily. In this context, tools have been developed to detect phishing, there are quite complex tools in a computational calculation, and they are not so easy to use for any user. Therefore, in this work, we propose a web architecture based on 3 machine learning models to predict whether a web address has phishing or not based mainly on Random Forest, Classification Trees, and Support Vector Machine. Therefore, 3 different models are developed with each of the indicated techniques and 2 models based on the models, which are applied to web addresses previously processed by a feature retrieval module. All this is deployed in an API that is consumed by a Frontend so that any user can use it and choose which type of model he/she wants to predict with. The results reveal that the best performing model when predicting both results is the Classification Trees model obtaining precision and accuracy of 80%.
