Show HN: Safe Link Checker by Ox Check

1 pointsby BrunoBernardino4 months ago
For the last couple of months I&#x27;ve been working on a Safe Link Checker, which checks a link against a few things:<p>- Malware&#x2F;spam domain lists<p>- WHOIS details (like registrar and domain age)<p>- Anti-virus (if it&#x27;s a file)<p>- Source Code analysis via AI (if it&#x27;s not a file, to analyse if there&#x27;s something &quot;shady&quot; in the source code)<p>In private beta, most people found the anti-virus and the domain age check to be the most useful data points, and many have created Shortcuts (iOS and macOS) to use the &quot;share&quot; pane to check a link in many apps.<p>There&#x27;s also a Safe Email Checker and a Safe API which are in private beta. Feel free to request access if that&#x27;s something that you could be interested in.<p>Any and all comments and suggestions are welcome!<p>I do have a final question, which I haven&#x27;t heard any requests about, but I have wondered if a Chrome and Firefox extension would be helpful, to simply right-click a link, instead of having to open oxcheck.com, for those not using Shortcuts&#x2F;Apple.<p>Thank you!
