01. What is AIScamHunter?

AIScamHunter is a comprehensive browser security platform that continuously analyses websites, scripts, downloads, redirects, SSL certificates, and scam patterns — before threats can compromise your data. It combines 8+ threat intelligence sources, local heuristics, and a powerful Tools Center for manual security checks.

🛡️ Real‑time web protection

Every visited URL is automatically scanned using reputation, heuristics, SSL analysis, redirect chains, and script behaviour. Blocks malicious pages instantly.

🧠 Advanced heuristics

Detects typosquatting, homoglyph attacks, DGA domains, fake login pages, cloned websites and zero‑hour phishing campaigns with weighted scoring (0‑100).

⚡ Manifest V3 architecture

Fully compliant with Chrome's latest security model: service worker, declarative net request, isolated storage, and download interception.

Important: AIScamHunter works silently in the background and blocks dangerous content before any interaction. No configuration required – protection is active after installation.

03. Complete protection systems

AIScamHunter combines multiple detection engines, behavioural analysis, external threat feeds (URLhaus, OpenPhish, PhishTank, AbuseIPDB) and native browser APIs.

🧬 Typosquatting & homoglyphs

Detects domains that impersonate brands using character substitution, Cyrillic lookalikes, and phonetic tricks: paypa1.com, g00gle.com.

📛 Suspicious TLDs & DGA

Monitors .xyz, .top, .shop, .click, .live and uses entropy, consonant/vowel ratio and bigram analysis to detect algorithmically generated domains (DGA).

🔗 Redirect & short URL analysis

Resolves shortened links (bit.ly, tinyurl, etc.) and follows redirect chains to block cloaked malicious destinations.

📅 Advanced SSL reputation

Flags recently issued (<30 days), self‑signed, expired or wildcard certificates often used by phishing sites.

🤖 Weighted risk scoring

Combines 8+ sources (Google Safe Browsing, URLScan, AbuseIPDB, PhishDestroy, external feeds, PhishStats, DNS reputation, SSL analysis, local heuristics) with dynamic weights. Score 0‑100 with adjustable thresholds.

📦 Obfuscated scripts & miners

Detects eval/atob, document.write injections, and cryptocurrency miners (CoinHive, Crypto‑Loot) in real time.

⛔ Dangerous download guard

Blocks executable files (.exe, .bat, .scr, .apk, .js, .msi) and analyses downloaded files; provides option to delete suspicious files.

🧾 Fake login & fake shops

Identifies cloned banking pages, fake stores with unrealistic discounts, missing legal notices and counterfeit trust badges.

📞 Tech support scams & quishing

Blocks browser lock screens, fake Microsoft/Apple alerts, and QR‑code phishing (quishing) campaigns.

🖱️ Hover warnings & context menu

Hover over any link: shows a warning if dangerous. Right‑click → scan link, block or trust domain instantly.

🌍 Safe mode

Increases detection sensitivity, forces HTTPS, blocks legacy plugins (Flash, Java, ActiveX) and insecure WebSockets.

📋 Clipboard hijack detection

Periodic check (every 5s, only when tab is visible) detects replaced crypto addresses or unexpected clipboard changes. Respects browser permissions policy – no errors on restricted sites.

Weighted scoring sources: Google Safe Browsing (30%), URLScan (18%), AbuseIPDB (10%), PhishDestroy (13%), external feeds (13%), PhishStats (5%), DNS reputation (3%), SSL analysis (3%), local heuristics (13%). All weights are dynamically adjusted based on strict/safe modes.

04. All features in depth

📊 Dynamic risk score

Every page receives a 0‑100 risk score based on multi‑source intelligence. Thresholds can be customised (strict mode, safe mode).

🚨 Secure warning page

When a critical threat is detected, a detailed interceptor shows category, severity, detected signals, and actions (continue once, trust domain, report false positive).

🔔 Smart notifications

Instant alerts when a malicious site is blocked, a crypto drainer is identified, or a suspicious redirect occurs. Disableable.

📊 Tools Center with batch scanner

Complete toolkit: URL/domain (batch up to 10), email and phone scanner, password vault, privacy cleaner, personal stats, persistent history of last 5 checks, sparklines and activity charts.

🔐 Cryptographic password generator

Uses crypto.getRandomValues() to generate strong passwords (8‑64 chars) with uppercase, digits, symbols and a real‑time strength indicator.

🧹 Privacy cleaner & shredder

One‑click removal of browsing traces with granular data type selection and time‑range presets. Also cleans IndexedDB and WebSQL.

🌐 Tracker blocker

Blocks analytics scripts (Google, Facebook, Hotjar, Mixpanel), ad servers, fingerprinting and telemetry domains via declarative net request rules.

📜 Local allow/block lists

Users can manually add domains to personal allowlist or blocklist. They override global rules and sync across browser sessions.

⚙️ Fine‑grained settings

Enable/disable real‑time shield, safe mode, tracker blocking, download guard, notifications, strict mode, telemetry. Reset statistics, clear activity log.

🌍 15 languages + RTL

Full internationalisation including Arabic (right‑to‑left). Light/dark theme syncs with system preference.

🔗 Admin sync & false positive reporting

Users can report false positives from the warning page. Administrators review and update global trusted/blocked lists. Extension refreshes lists hourly.

🧪 Email & phone scam check

Checks email addresses for disposable/low reputation (Disify API) and phone numbers against known scam prefixes. Available in Tools Center.

05. Tools Center – advanced utilities

The Tools Center (accessible from popup or dedicated private.html page) provides powerful security tools and personal statistics. All history is stored locally.

🌐 URL / Domain scanner (batch)

Check any URL or domain with multi‑source analysis (Google Safe Browsing, URLScan, PhishDestroy, local heuristics). Returns risk score, category, detected signals. Supports batch (up to 10 URLs) and persistent history of last 5 checks.

📧 Email safety check

Detects disposable or low‑reputation email addresses via Disify API (HTTPS). Helps avoid sign‑ups on fraudulent sites. Batch mode available.

📞 Phone number check

Verifies phone numbers against known scam prefixes (e.g., premium‑rate or fake support lines). Country selection included.

📊 Activity charts & sparklines

Visualises scans, blocked threats and alerts over 24h, 7 days, and 30 days. Sparkline graphs on stat cards show weekly trends.

🔐 Password vault (secure generator)

Cryptographically strong passwords (crypto.getRandomValues). Adjustable length, character sets, and a live strength meter (weak → very strong).

🧹 Privacy cleaner & shredder

One‑click removal of browsing traces with granular data type selection and time‑range presets. Also cleans IndexedDB and WebSQL.

06. Crypto & Web3 security

Specialised protection for cryptocurrency users against drainers, fake wallets, and giveaway scams.

💸 Crypto drainer detection

Monitors dangerous Web3 calls: eth_sendTransaction, approve, transferFrom, personal_sign on pages that inject window.ethereum or window.solana.

🎁 Fake giveaway / airdrop

Text and countdown timer analysis to detect "Elon Musk giveaway", "double your crypto", and fake airdrop campaigns.

👛 Fake wallet pages

Identifies phishing sites impersonating MetaMask, Binance, Coinbase, Ledger, Trust Wallet, Phantom, etc., using typosquatting and subdomain tricks.

📋 Clipboard hijacking (crypto)

Detects when a copied crypto address (e.g., 0x... Ethereum address) is silently replaced by a malicious address. Triggers a critical alert.

07. Administration & false‑positive handling

AIScamHunter includes a private admin dashboard that aggregates user reports, manages global allow/block lists, and improves detection for all users.

📢 User false‑positive reporting

From the warning page or popup, users can report a blocked domain as a false positive. The report includes domain, timestamp, and anonymised user hash.

🔧 Admin actions

Trust → adds to global allowlist; Block → adds to global blocklist; Resolve → removes the report without global changes. Decisions sync to all users via shared JSON files.

🔄 Hourly synchronisation

The extension polls the server every hour for updated trusted/blocked lists. Admin changes propagate to all users within ≤60 minutes.

📊 Anonymous telemetry (optional)

Aggregated threat statistics (type, country, score) help improve detection. No personal data, IPs or full URLs are stored. Can be disabled in settings.

GDPR compliant: All user data is anonymised. You can disable telemetry or request data deletion at any time.

08. Privacy & data protection

Privacy‑first design: The majority of analysis is performed locally inside your browser – no URLs are sent to our servers by default.

🔒 Local processing

Heuristics (typosquatting, DGA, form analysis, script scanning) run entirely on your device. Only optional safe browsing checks go through secured proxies.

🕶️ Incognito mode support

Extension can be enabled in incognito (manual activation). Telemetry is automatically disabled in private windows.

📊 Optional anonymised telemetry

A toggle in settings allows sending aggregate statistics (event type, country, risk score) to improve global detection. No personal identifiers, IPs or URLs are ever transmitted.

🛡️ Proxied external APIs

Calls to Google Safe Browsing, AbuseIPDB, URLScan are routed through AIScamHunter servers to hide your IP and avoid exposing API keys.
