Book a DemoHow BaitBox Phishing URL Scanner Works
BaitBox detonates suspicious URLs in a sandboxed browser, capturing every signal a phishing page emits — then scores it with our Bullshit Meter.
Sandbox Detonation
URLs are loaded in an isolated headless browser. No risk to your machine. We capture the full page, redirects, forms, and scripts.
AI Phishing Analysis
An LLM analyzes every scan and writes a plain-English summary of what the page is doing and whether it looks like phishing.
Bullshit Meter Score
Heuristic + threat-intel scoring from 0 to 100. Detects credential harvesting, brand impersonation, obfuscation, and more.
Forensic Enrichment
WHOIS, SSL certificates, DNS records, security headers, CT logs, and ASN lookups — all in one view.
Threat Intelligence
Automated queries against AbuseIPDB, VirusTotal, ThreatFox, Shodan, and OTX. Plus web chatter search for the domain.
IOC Extraction
Extracts indicators of compromise — IPs, URLs, redirect chains, form targets, and drop accounts — ready for your SIEM or blocklist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is BaitBox really free?
Yes. The public phishing URL scanner is completely free with no signup required. You get sandbox detonation, AI analysis, forensic enrichment, and a Bullshit Meter score on every scan. For unlimited scans and team features, check out the full ThreatCortex platform.
What does the phishing scan detect?
BaitBox detects credential harvesting forms, brand impersonation, malicious redirects, JavaScript obfuscation, bot detection evasion, suspicious SSL certificates, and more. Every URL is loaded in an isolated sandbox browser to capture the full behavior.
How is this different from VirusTotal or URLScan?
BaitBox goes beyond static reputation lookups. It detonates URLs in a real browser sandbox, runs AI-powered analysis, scores pages with the Bullshit Meter heuristic engine, and enriches results with WHOIS, SSL, DNS, CT logs, and multiple threat intel feeds — all in a single scan.
Can I use BaitBox for SOC operations?
Absolutely. BaitBox is one tool in the ThreatCortex platform, which includes narfAI (AI-powered threat analysis), Proactive Hunt, detection rules, and more. Book a demo to see how it fits into your security operations workflow.
