Website Security Analysis

Running a Website Analysis

1. Open VerAI.
2. Enter a website URL.
3. Submit the analysis.
4. Review the technical findings and AI observations.

Example:

https://example.com

Available Website Checks

IP Address Resolution

VerAI resolves the submitted hostname using the server's DNS configuration.

The result identifies an IPv4 address associated with the hostname.

Example

Hostname: example.com
IP Address: 93.184.215.14

This example is illustrative.

Limitations

A website may have multiple IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses, or content delivery network endpoints.

The implementation performs a single IPv4 hostname resolution rather than enumerating every possible address.

Server Location

VerAI queries an IP geolocation service to estimate the country associated with the resolved IP address.

Example

Server Location: United States

Geolocation data is approximate.

The reported country may represent a hosting provider, content delivery network, or registered address rather than the physical location of the website operator.

HTTP Response Headers

VerAI retrieves HTTP response headers from the submitted website.

These can reveal information about:

• Server behavior
• Caching
• Content type
• Redirects
• Security policies
• Other HTTP configuration

The tool presents returned metadata rather than establishing whether every header is properly configured.

HTTP Security Headers

VerAI inspects the following headers:

Possible Results

If a header is found, VerAI returns its value.

If it is absent, the result may show:

Not Set

Important Interpretation

A missing header may be relevant, but it does not independently prove a vulnerability.

For example, X-XSS-Protection is obsolete in modern browsers, and its absence should not be treated as equivalent to missing a modern Content Security Policy.

VerAI reports header presence and values; the supplied function does not perform a comprehensive browser-policy effectiveness assessment.

TLS Cipher and Protocol

VerAI establishes a TLS connection to port 443 and reports the negotiated connection parameters.

Report Fields

Example

Cipher: TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
Protocol: TLSv1.3
Strength: 256 bits

This is an illustrative result.

Limitations

The check observes a single TLS negotiation.

It does not enumerate every supported cipher, protocol version, or server configuration.

SSL/TLS Certificate Information

VerAI retrieves certificate metadata through a TLS connection.

Report Fields

• Certificate issuer
• Certificate subject
• Valid-from date
• Valid-to date

Interpretation

A valid certificate helps establish that the TLS connection is authenticated for the requested hostname.

It does not establish that the website operator is trustworthy or that the website contains no malicious content.

WHOIS Information

VerAI attempts to retrieve domain registration metadata.

Depending on the registry, the information may include:

• Registrar
• Registration dates
• Expiration dates
• Domain status
• Registrant information where publicly available

Limitations

WHOIS information may be restricted, redacted, unavailable, or inconsistent between registries.

Some domains use privacy protection services.

A recent registration date can be worth investigating, but it is not conclusive evidence of fraud.

DNS Records

VerAI requests the following DNS record types:

Example

A: 203.0.113.10
MX: 10 mail.example.com
TXT: v=spf1 -all

The values above are illustrative.

The implementation queries record types sequentially. A lookup failure can prevent subsequent types from being collected in that invocation.

Reverse DNS

Reverse DNS attempts to map the resolved IP address to a hostname through a PTR record.

Example

mail.example.com

A missing PTR record does not automatically indicate malicious activity.

Reverse DNS is one supporting signal among many.

SSH Banner Inspection

VerAI attempts to connect to TCP port 22 and read an SSH identification banner.

Example

SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_9.x

A returned banner may identify an SSH implementation or version.

However, the tool does not conduct an authenticated SSH security assessment or comprehensive service vulnerability scan.

A timeout or connection refusal may simply mean SSH is unavailable or restricted.

Google Safe Browsing

VerAI queries Google Safe Browsing for selected threat categories.

The supplied implementation requests matches associated with:

• Malware
• Social engineering
• Unwanted software
• Potentially harmful applications

Possible Results

Unsafe
Safe
Error: ...

In this implementation, Safe means that the request succeeded and no matching entries were returned.

It does not guarantee that the website is harmless.

Important Limitation

Threat intelligence is not exhaustive. Newly created malicious websites may not yet have a recorded classification.

Understanding the Overall Report

Consider multiple signals together.

For example, a website might have:

• A valid TLS certificate
• Properly configured security headers
• A recent registration date
• A suspicious AI assessment

These observations are not mutually exclusive.

The website can be technically well configured while still being untrustworthy.

Recommended Investigation Workflow

1. Review the submitted URL carefully.
2. Inspect domain and registration information.
3. Review DNS and hosting information.
4. Examine TLS and security headers.
5. Check Safe Browsing results.
6. Read AI observations as hypotheses rather than conclusions.
7. Corroborate suspicious findings through independent evidence.

Important: VerAI's website analysis is a preliminary security inspection, not a complete penetration test, malware analysis, or definitive legitimacy certification.
