Phish Inspector

Would explain a suspicious message, link or attachment using reputation lookups and header analysis. It would not delete mail on its own.

Concept · not built

This is a concept. Phish Inspector is not built and there is nothing to download. Phish Inspector is a working name.

Purpose

Why it would exist.

Phishing remains the most common way attackers reach people. Phish Inspector would help someone decide whether a message is safe before they click.

Proposed behavior

  • Read the headers, links and attachment details of a message the user chooses to check.
  • Look up the reputation of senders and links.
  • Explain the warning signs in plain language.

Limits that would stay

  • It would not delete, move or reply to mail on its own.
  • A "looks safe" result would not be a guarantee.
