FAQ

What does this phishing quiz actually do?

It takes a suspicious URL you paste and deobfuscates it — decoding hidden characters, @ tricks, and redirect parameters — so you can see the real destination. It then scores the link for phishing risk and explains the red flags in plain English.

Is it safe to paste a phishing link here?

Yes. The tool only analyzes the text of the URL. It never visits, clicks, or loads the link, and nothing is sent to a server. Your input stays in your browser.

What are common red flags in a phishing URL?

Look for an @ symbol that hides the real domain, misspelled brand names, unusual subdomains, URL-encoded characters, and redirect parameters pointing to unfamiliar sites. This tool highlights all of these automatically.

Can I use this for security awareness training?

Absolutely. Trainers and IT teams can use it to show employees how easily a link can be disguised, turning a real suspicious URL into a teachable moment without any risk.

Does a low risk score mean the link is definitely safe?

No. The score is a helpful signal, not a guarantee. Always verify unexpected links through official channels and trust your instincts — if something feels off, don't click.
