5 threat patterns detected

high

tls connection failed

Could not establish TLS connection

critical

brand impersonation

Domain 'awsdns-41.co.uk' directly mimics AWS Route 53 nameserver naming conventions (awsdns-*) to impersonate Amazon Web Services infrastructure. The use of a .co.uk TLD with the AWS-specific 'awsdns' prefix is a deliberate deception pattern targeting users and automated systems that trust AWS DNS endpoints. (location: domain: awsdns-41.co.uk)

critical

phishing

The domain impersonates AWS DNS infrastructure with an invalid/non-functional TLS certificate (connected=false, cert_valid=false) and empty page content, consistent with a staged phishing domain awaiting payload deployment or used for credential harvesting via subdomain or redirect chains. (location: domain: awsdns-41.co.uk, metadata.json tls block)

high

credential harvesting

AWS DNS impersonation domains are frequently used to harvest AWS IAM credentials, access keys, or account login details by redirecting users who trust the 'awsdns' brand. The empty page and broken TLS suggest the site may be used as a backend endpoint for exfiltrating credentials rather than serving a visible page. (location: domain: awsdns-41.co.uk)

medium

hidden content

The domain resolves and was crawled but returns completely empty HTML and text content with no visible or hidden elements. This blank-page pattern is used to evade content-based scanners while the domain is active for other purposes (DNS abuse, redirect target, API endpoint for malicious tooling). (location: page.html, page-text.txt, page-hidden.txt (all empty))

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

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

Is awsdns-41.co.uk safe for AI agents to use?

awsdns-41.co.uk currently scores 36/100 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.
