DEVSCAN

DEVScan: Real-time link scanner with tooltips and warning redirection.

DEVScan is a multi-layered, browser-integrated defense mechanism designed to protect users against hyperlink-based cyber threats. Operating directly within the browsing environment, it delivers lightweight, real-time protection that identifies and warns users through visual presentations of risky links before they can cause harm. DEVScan is built for a much broader audience: everyday internet users who engage with links while browsing, the academic community seeking advancements in browser-based security solutions, web developers and IT professionals who need tools to assess hyperlink integrity, and even policymakers and advocates aiming to strengthen cybersecurity awareness and practices. By combining domain reputation checks, link lexical features and static DOM-based behavior scanning, DEVScan offers a practical approach to making web browsing safer for everyone.
