5 threat patterns detected

high

tls connection failed

Could not establish TLS connection

high

brand impersonation

Domain 'awsdns-55.co.uk' impersonates AWS (Amazon Web Services) DNS infrastructure by mimicking the 'awsdns' naming convention used by Route 53 (e.g., ns-xxx.awsdns-xx.com). The .co.uk TLD combined with a numeric suffix pattern is designed to appear as a legitimate AWS DNS server to users and automated systems. (location: domain: awsdns-55.co.uk)

high

phishing

The domain closely mimics AWS Route 53 DNS nameserver naming conventions, likely used to deceive users or automated systems into trusting it as an official Amazon/AWS resource. Combined with TLS failure (no valid certificate), the site is non-functional as a legitimate service but consistent with a parked phishing or credential harvesting domain. (location: domain: awsdns-55.co.uk)

medium

credential harvesting

TLS is not connected and certificate is invalid (connected=false, cert_valid=false), meaning the site cannot serve HTTPS content securely. This pattern is common in dormant credential harvesting infrastructure awaiting activation or recently taken down after a campaign. (location: metadata.json: tls fields)

medium

malicious redirect

The domain appears to be non-serving (empty page.html and page-text.txt) with invalid TLS. This is consistent with a redirect-only or DNS-manipulation domain, where the value is in the DNS record itself rather than hosted content — a technique used for malicious DNS redirects or traffic interception impersonating AWS DNS infrastructure. (location: domain: awsdns-55.co.uk; page.html: empty; tls: connected=false)

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

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

Is awsdns-55.co.uk safe for AI agents to use?

awsdns-55.co.uk currently scores 48/100 with a suspicious verdict and medium 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.
