Live Scan is a real-time analysis tool from Silent Push that allows you to scan any URL, public, dark web, or otherwise, and uncover what’s currently hosted there. It delivers a live screenshot, HTML title, favicon, redirection details, SSL issuer data, and color-coded risk scores for both the domain and IP, all in one go. Unlike historical data tools, Live Scan captures the current state, making it ideal for identifying dynamic threats, such as spoofed sites.
Why it matters
Whether you’re a U.S. citizen concerned about IRS spoofing scams or a security professional protecting your organization, Live Scan helps by revealing fraudulent content in real time. Imagine a fake IRS page harvesting Social Security numbers—Live Scan can catch it by showing the page’s layout and flagging risky IPs. For businesses, it prevents phishing, blocks malware, and addresses impersonation threats, safeguarding your network and reputation before damage spreads.
How we use it
Live Scan is perfect for quick investigations. Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts track URL-based threats, Incident Response (IR) teams map breach-related infrastructure, and Threat Intelligence analysts predict attacks by pivoting on malicious domains. For example, you can scan a suspicious link from an email, see its redirect chain, and enrich the data to block it instantly. Its active scanning and early detection feed integration ensure you stay ahead of evolving threats.
