Explain
Group findings into readable reasons instead of hiding everything behind a number.
Decide
Use the evidence to slow down, verify the source, or safely move on.
03 / CAPABILITIESSmall checks.
Small checks.
Useful signals.
Link intelligence
HTTPS, raw IPs, Punycode, unusual ports, URL shorteners, excessive subdomains and obfuscation signals.
Scam language
Flags urgency, credential requests, payment pressure, fake rewards, account threats and remote-access bait.
File fingerprints
Reads local metadata, detects common executable/script indicators and generates a SHA-256 hash.
Private by design
File scanning happens locally in the browser. The selected file is never sent to a server by this page.
