5 threat patterns detected

high

tls connection failed

Could not establish TLS connection

high

brand impersonation

The domain 'gov-img.site' uses the substring 'gov' to impersonate or suggest affiliation with a government entity while using a non-governmental TLD (.site). This is a classic pattern for deceiving users into trusting the site as an official government resource. (location: domain: gov-img.site)

high

phishing

The domain 'gov-img.site' combines a government-trust keyword ('gov') with a generic TLD ('.site') — a pattern commonly used in phishing infrastructure targeting users who expect government domains (e.g., .gov TLD). The site also failed TLS connection (connected=false, cert_valid=false), which is consistent with newly stood-up or abandoned phishing infrastructure. (location: domain: gov-img.site, metadata.json TLS fields)

medium

hidden content

The context file references a 'page-hidden.txt' for extracted hidden content, indicating the scan pipeline detected or anticipated hidden elements. The page.html and page-text.txt are both empty, suggesting the page may have served no content at scan time — consistent with cloaking behavior where content is only served to real user agents or specific IP ranges, hiding malicious content from automated scanners. (location: page.html (empty), page-text.txt (empty), page-hidden.txt (empty), .brin-context.md line 16)

medium

malicious redirect

The page returned no HTML content despite the domain being reachable enough for metadata to be collected. Empty page bodies with active domains are a common indicator of redirect-only infrastructure or conditional redirection (serving content only to targeted victims while appearing empty to scanners). (location: page.html (empty body), metadata.json url: https://gov-img.site)

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

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

Is gov-img.site safe for AI agents to use?

gov-img.site 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.
