AFFORDABLE DIGITAL SECURITY: A MANUAL SOLUTION FOR CHECKING SUSPICIOUS LINKS
Abstract
This paper aims to develop a practical and accessible tool focused on digital security, capable of assisting users in manually verifying suspicious links. The proposal seeks to reduce exposure to online fraud, especially those spread through social media. Bibliographic research was conducted with a focus on gathering data on digital fraud tactics and information security practices. Subsequently, a solution was implemented using languages and frameworks such as JavaScript, Python, and SQLite. The system was tested with both legitimate and fraudulent URLs, analyzing parameters such as HTTPS usage, SSL certificate validity, and domain creation date. The results showed that the tool fulfills its purpose by adequately classifying websites into risk levels ('safe,' 'moderate,' and 'suspicious'), providing the user with a clear and immediate view of the reliability of the accessed pages.The integration between the modules proved to be stable and efficient. It is concluded that the proposed solution contributes to the democratization of digital security by providing an additional layer of protection and awareness while browsing.
