Link / URL · OSINT
Is this link safe to click?
One click on a phishing link can steal your login or drop malware. Short links and redirects hide where you're really going.
DARKSHARE expands the link, reveals its true destination and checks it against phishing and malware intelligence — scored 0–100 before you ever open it.
What we check
- ✓Phishing & malware feeds — live threat lists for the URL and its domain.
- ✓Redirect chain — where shorteners and redirects actually lead.
- ✓Destination reputation — blacklists and age of the final domain.

How the 0–100 risk score works
A match on a phishing/malware feed is top risk. Hidden redirects to fresh domains, mismatched display text and flagged hosts raise the score.
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to paste the link here?
Yes — we analyse it server-side against intelligence sources. You never have to open it yourself.
What about shortened links (bit.ly etc.)?
We expand them and check the real destination, not just the short URL.
The link looks like my bank — can it still be fake?
Absolutely. Display text and lookalike domains are the core of phishing. We check the actual destination.
