(ANTI PHISHING) There may be something like this already and if there is I would love to hear it. I am looking for some sort of website I can potentially show my users where they could paste a suspicious URL to see where it takes them and what it does. We frequently receive URLs in emails that are phishing attempts and most of them are pretty obvious, but we've been hit by some Google Alert results with our marketing team where they wanted to see who was talking about our company. I know there are some URL scanners but I have pasted some of the confirmed malicious links into them and they give nice bright green checkmarks saying everything is A-OK. As an admin if someone forwards me a link I will open it in a secure virtual machine that I can destroy if it is compromised but it would be nice if there was something the users could do. I remember a website back in the day where you could upload viruses to VMs and do your best to mess with them and it would show you screenshots of what was happening, but then periodically the VMs would reset to bring the boxes back up clean. Always thought that was a pretty slick concept. TLDR: Looking for a site where I can give it a URL and get a visual representation of where the page lands for the purpose of seeing if it is legit.

It will tell you what the final URL is. Reply reply banditb17 • 7y ago • > VirusTotal Shows the URL as all clean. This particular URL redirects you after a short time to a malicious one that ultimately locks up your PC using an ever increasing URL length. The last thing you see before you die is that you should call microsoft at a bullshit number.

Reply reply [deleted] • 7y ago • Curl browser on OpenBSD Why Curl? Because it won't execute JavaScript. Why OpenBSD? Because Pledge Reply reply HolyCowEveryNameIsTa • 7y ago • Also I didn't see anyone mention it but a lot of spam URLs are unique. They let the spam bot know if a user opened it or not. It might trigger the spam bot to think that they are susceptible and send them more spam. Same thing with allowing images in email.
