6 threat patterns detected

high

tls connection failed

Could not establish TLS connection

critical

brand impersonation

Domain 'awsdns-34.co.uk' impersonates AWS (Amazon Web Services) by incorporating 'awsdns' — a well-known AWS DNS service brand — combined with a numeric suffix and a .co.uk TLD to appear legitimate while being unaffiliated with Amazon. This pattern is characteristic of typosquatting or brand-abuse targeting users and automated systems that trust AWS infrastructure domains. (location: domain: awsdns-34.co.uk)

critical

phishing

The domain mimics AWS DNS infrastructure naming conventions ('awsdns-XX') which are used internally by Amazon Route 53. A fake domain in this format could deceive users, security tools, or AI agents into trusting it as an Amazon-owned asset, facilitating credential harvesting or malware delivery under the guise of AWS services. (location: domain: awsdns-34.co.uk)

high

credential harvesting

TLS connection failed (connected=false, cert_valid=false), meaning the site either serves no content over HTTPS or presents an invalid certificate. Combined with brand impersonation of AWS, this is consistent with a credential harvesting setup that may redirect victims to HTTP or use a deceptive login page without valid TLS, bypassing browser trust indicators. (location: metadata.json: tls block — connected=false, cert_valid=false, san_match=false)

high

malicious redirect

The page returned empty HTML and text content despite the domain being reachable enough for metadata collection. An empty or near-empty page that impersonates a trusted brand is a common pattern for cloaked redirect infrastructure, where content is only served to targeted victims or specific user-agent profiles (e.g., bots, specific geolocations, or AI agents). (location: page.html and page-text.txt — both empty)

medium

social engineering

The domain construction ('awsdns-34.co.uk') is designed to exploit implicit trust in AWS naming patterns. Users or automated agents encountering this domain in logs, emails, or links may assume it is a legitimate Amazon-operated DNS endpoint, lowering their guard and making them susceptible to follow-on social engineering or phishing attacks.

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

Common questions teams ask before deciding whether to use this domain in agent workflows.

Is awsdns-34.co.uk safe for AI agents to use?

awsdns-34.co.uk currently scores 32/100 with a suspicious verdict and low confidence. The goal is to protect agents from high-risk context before they act on it. Treat this as a decision signal: higher scores suggest lower observed risk, while lower scores mean you should add review or block this domain.

How should I interpret the score and verdict?

Use the score as a policy threshold: 80–100 is safe, 50–79 is caution, 20–49 is suspicious, and 0–19 is dangerous. Teams often auto-allow safe, require human review for caution/suspicious, and block dangerous.

How does brin compute this domain score?

brin evaluates four dimensions: identity (source trust), behavior (runtime patterns), content (malicious instructions), and graph (relationship risk). Analysis runs in tiers: static signals, deterministic pattern checks, then AI semantic analysis when needed.

What do identity, behavior, content, and graph mean for this domain?

Identity checks source trust, behavior checks unusual runtime patterns, content checks for malicious instructions, and graph checks risky relationships to other entities. Looking at sub-scores helps you understand why an entity passed or failed.

Why does brin scan packages, repos, skills, MCP servers, pages, and commits?

brin performs risk assessments on external context before it reaches an AI agent. It scores that context for threats like prompt injection, hijacking, credential harvesting, and supply chain attacks, so teams can decide whether to block, review, or proceed safely.

Can I rely on a safe verdict as a full security guarantee?

No. A safe verdict means no significant risk signals were detected in this scan. It is not a formal guarantee; assessments are automated and point-in-time, so combine scores with your own controls and periodic re-checks.

When should I re-check before using an entity?

Re-check before high-impact actions such as installs, upgrades, connecting MCP servers, executing remote code, or granting secrets. Use the API in CI or runtime gates so decisions are based on the latest scan.
