Malicious Links & Downloads

Real-time reputation checks and file type analysis to prevent malware delivery.

Not all threats are fake login pages. Many attacks aim to deliver malware via "Drive-by Downloads" or infect a machine immediately upon visiting a URL.

Local Risk Scoring

Arx uses a local risk engine that analyzes URLs in real-time using multiple heuristics without requiring external API calls.

  • HTTPS/SSL verification
  • Suspicious TLD detection
  • URL shortener identification
  • Brand impersonation checks

AI-Powered Evaluation

For login pages and suspicious content, Arx uses AI visual matching to evaluate threats by analyzing page structure and visual elements.

AI Analysis: Visual similarity detection, structural analysis, and behavioral pattern recognition to identify malicious pages even when they're brand new.

Zero-Hour Protection

Blocklists are not enough. New malicious domains are registered every second.

That is why Arx combines reputation lists with the client-side heuristics described in other sections (Typosquatting, Visual AI). Even if a URL is 5 minutes old and not on any blacklist, our local analysis engine can still detect and block it based on its behavior and appearance.
