urlscan.io
Website scanner for suspicious and malicious URLs

urlscan.io is a web-based platform that scans and analyzes potentially malicious websites and URLs. When a URL is submitted, an automated browser visits the page and records all network activity, resources loaded, and page content. It offers both a free community platform and a commercial Pro tier with advanced search, monitoring, and threat intelligence features.
Users submit a URL which is then visited by an automated browser that records all domains, IPs, resources, and page activity, returning a detailed report with verdicts on phishing and brand impersonation.
