| contents | Phishing attacks are increasingly prevalent, with adversaries creating deceptive webpages to steal sensitive information. Despite advancements in machine learning and deep learning for phishing detection, attackers constantly develop new tactics to bypass detection models. As a result, phishing webpages continue to reach users, particularly those unable to recognize phishing indicators. To improve detection accuracy, models must be trained on large datasets containing both phishing and legitimate webpages, including URLs, webpage content, screenshots, and logos. However, existing tools struggle to collect the required resources, especially given the short lifespan of phishing webpages, limiting dataset comprehensiveness. In response, we introduce Phish-Blitz, a tool that downloads phishing and legitimate webpages along with their associated resources, such as screenshots. Unlike existing tools, Phish-Blitz captures live webpage screenshots and updates resource file paths to maintain the original visual integrity of the webpage. We provide a dataset containing 8,809 legitimate and 5,000 phishing webpages, including all associated resources. Our dataset and tool are publicly available on GitHub, contributing to the research community by offering a more complete dataset for phishing detection. |
