1 Introduction
In today's digital age online platforms serve as a significant medium for communication and information
exchange. However, the increased use of these platforms has also led to the rise of malicious activities,
including the spread of misinformation, hate speech, and other forms of harmful content. To address
these challenges, we introduce the " Monitoring Suspicious Discussion System," a project designed to
identify and monitor suspicious discussions on online platforms.
Goals: The goal of the Monitoring Suspicious Discussion System project is to create a tool that can
identify and track potentially harmful or suspicious conversations. This system aims to analyze discussions
and detect unusual patterns, helping to ensure online safety and prevent malicious activities. The key
objectives include developing algorithms to recognize suspicious language, implementing real-time
monitoring capabilities, and providing alerts when potentially harmful discussions are detected.
1.1 General Information

Information to be provided in this section gives a specific name to the project as well as pertinent
information about the personal involved.

1.2 Purpose:
There two key purposes for the app are as follow:
Early Detection of Threats:
 Identifying Suspicious Content: The system should be designed to analyze discussions and
conversations for patterns or content that could indicate potential threats, such as terrorism,
cybercrime, or other illicit activities.
 Real-time Monitoring: Providing real-time monitoring capabilities to detect suspicious
discussions.
Prevention and Mitigation:

 Alerting Authorities: Once suspicious discussions are detected, the system should have
mechanisms to alert relevant authorities or administrators.
1.3 Project Objective

• Contextual Analysis
• Real-time Monitoring
• User Reporting System
2.3 User Classes and Characteristics:

• Admins: The people in charge, like moderators or administrators.
• Moderators: Users with special permissions to watch over discussions.
• Reporters: Users who can notify admins or moderators about concerning content.
Report anything that seems suspicious or harmful.
2.4 Operating Environment:

The suspicious discussion monitoring system will operate on a server-grade hardware platform,
running on Linux-based servers with CentOS 7. It must ensuring compatibility with MySQL 8 and
Apache 2.4 for optimal performance and security.
2.5 Design and Implementation Constraints:

4. User Experience: User Interface, Feedback Mechanism
2.6 User Documentation:

We release user manual describing product features and usage step by step
2.7 Assumptions and Dependencies:

Assumptions: Users will actively report suspicious discussions.
Dependencies: The implementation of advanced machine learning algorithms depends on the

availability of skilled data scientists.
3 System Features
The product provides the various features to user which are describe as below.
3.1 System Feature

3.2 Description and Priority
Description: A system designed to monitor and identify suspicious discussions or activities online for
security purposes.
Priority: High, as it helps in early detection and prevention of potential threats or harmful content.
3.3 Stimulus/Response Sequences

• User Flags Suspicious Content: User reports suspicious discussion content.
• Moderation Team Review: System updates user on the moderation decision.
3.4 Functional Requirements

In the context of our project, this refers to the patterns of communication between participants. In
discussions, a stimulus could be a particular phrase, topic, or behavior that prompts a reaction or
response from others.
3.5 Admin: The admin side of the Web App can perform the following functionalities like.
3.5.1 Approve profile: In which the admin approves the profiles of user which agrees over rules.
3.5.2 Secure Data: Admin teams provide complete security.
3.5.3 Activities Control: Admin and its teams can check all the user activities.
3.6 Module 1:
 Users can register and delete their profiles.
 Reset or recover a forgotten password.
3.6.1 Module 2:
 Create, view and manage discussions.
 Participate in discussions by posting comments.
3.6.2 Module 3:
 Review and make discussion on reported content.
 Ensure the web application is responsive across devices.
4 External Interface Requirements

4.1 User Interfaces
The project component user interface is standardized. So, the user can interact smoothly with
interface.
4.2 Hardware Interfaces

The suspicious discussion monitoring system project incorporates hardware interfaces for real-time data
capture and analysis, enhancing its ability to detect and address potential threats efficiently.
4.3 Software Interfaces
Creating a system to monitor suspicious discussions involves designing software interfaces for real-time
data ingestion, natural language processing (NLP) for content analysis.
4.4 Communications Interfaces

Developing a project for monitoring suspicious discussions with a focus on robust and secure
communication interfaces.
5 Other Nonfunctional Requirements

5.1 Performance Requirements
 Ensure the system swiftly identifies and flags potentially suspicious discussions in real-time.
5.2 Safety Requirements

• Ensure real-time analysis of user interactions, promptly flagging and addressing any suspicious or
harmful content, while prioritizing user privacy and data security.
5.3 Security Requirements

6 WBS Project Management

Monitoring Suspicious Discussion System
Web Application
Description
WBS (work breakdown structure) is a project management technique that takes a step by step procedure to
complete large projects with several moving pieces. By breaking down the project into smaller components,
a WBS can integrate, requirement, design, logical division of App into modules text, development
deliverables into a single tool.
7.1 Analysis Model:
Use Case:
Description
A use case diagram is a written description of how admin, user 1, user 2 will perform tasks in over App.
7.2 Class Diagram
Description
A class diagram is a diagram that represents the structure of a system by showing its classes, attributes and
methods, and the relationships between them. In a class diagram classes include admin, user 1, user 2. Admin
class would have attributes like, name, email, password etc. user 1 would have attributes like id, name,
email, use 2 would have attributes like id, user name etc.
7.3 Sequence Diagram
Description
A sequence diagram is a diagram that shows the interactions between components in a system. In a
sequence diagram we described the objects would includes admin, user 1, user 2.
7.4 Activity Diagram
Description
An activity diagram for the admin app would show the flow of activities that are involved in
managing the app. It would represent the various actions that can perform such as login, add
user, delete user etc.
7.6 ERD
Description
An ERD or entity relationship diagram, is a diagram that represents the entities in a system and the
relationships between them. In an ERD diagram would show the relationships between these entities such
as an admin, user 1 and user 2. It is a visual representation of data that can be used to understand and design
database components.
