6 threat patterns detected

medium

malicious redirect

script/meta redirect patterns detected in page source

high

brand impersonation

The domain luhostel.in impersonates the University of Lucknow (official domain lkouniv.ac.in). The page title, content, and branding all claim to be the official 'University of Lucknow Hostel Management System' but is hosted on a third-party .in domain unaffiliated with the university's official .ac.in domain. The page even links to the real university at lkouniv.ac.in, confirming the legitimate institution has a different domain. (location: page.html:7, page.html:36 - domain luhostel.in vs official lkouniv.ac.in)

high

credential harvesting

The site presents a login form collecting email address and password from students who believe they are on the official University of Lucknow portal. The form submits via POST to the same domain (luhostel.in), which is not the official university domain. Six credential-related forms detected (registration, login, forgot password). Student university credentials are being collected by a third-party operator (SRI TECHNOCRAT / sritechnocrat.com). (location: page.html:145-194 - login_formid form with login_emailid and login_password fields)

high

phishing

The entire site is constructed to mimic the official University of Lucknow Hostel Management System on a non-official domain (luhostel.in vs lkouniv.ac.in). Students are directed to register and log in with university credentials. Technical support is routed to helpdesk@sritechnocrat.com rather than any official university address, and the site is 'Powered by SRI TECHNOCRAT', a private third party operating under the university's brand. (location: page.html:36, page.html:201, page.html:270 - branding, helpdesk email, and powered-by footer)

medium

social engineering

The page creates urgency and legitimacy by mimicking the exact two-step official registration workflow of the real University of Lucknow hostel system, using official-sounding language, a university logo, and a link to the real university website (lkouniv.ac.in) to build trust before harvesting credentials. (location: page.html:36-74 - welcome text, step instructions, and link to real university)

low

malicious redirect

JavaScript function ChangeFormSemester() uses window.location to redirect users to fregister.php when semester==1. While conditionally triggered, this JS redirect pattern (1 hit flagged in Tier 2) routes users within the same untrusted domain and could be used to direct users to further credential-harvesting pages. (location: page.html:298-302 - ChangeFormSemester() function with window.location redirect)

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

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

Is luhostel.in safe for AI agents to use?

luhostel.in currently scores 42/100 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.
