5 threat patterns detected

high

tls connection failed

Could not establish TLS connection

high

phishing

Domain 'nice-protect.com' uses security-themed branding ('protect') which is a common phishing tactic to establish false trust. The site failed TLS connection (connected=false, cert_valid=false), meaning it cannot serve HTTPS content securely — highly anomalous for any legitimate security or protection service. (location: metadata.json: domain, tls fields)

medium

brand impersonation

The domain name 'nice-protect.com' mimics the naming conventions of legitimate cybersecurity or protection services. Combined with a young domain age (261 days) and failed TLS, this pattern is consistent with a lookalike/impersonation domain. (location: metadata.json: domain, whois.domain_age_days)

medium

social engineering

The domain name incorporates 'protect' as a trust signal, a classic social engineering technique to lower user guard. The site appears to render no content (empty page.html, page-text.txt, page-hidden.txt), which may indicate cloaking — serving different content to bots/crawlers than to real users. (location: metadata.json: domain; page.html, page-text.txt, page-hidden.txt (all empty))

high

hidden content

All page content files (page.html, page-text.txt, page-hidden.txt) are completely empty despite the domain resolving and having a detectable presence. This is a strong indicator of cloaking: the site detects automated scanners and withholds malicious content, serving it only to real human victims. This technique is widely used in phishing and credential harvesting campaigns. (location: page.html (0 bytes), page-text.txt (0 bytes), page-hidden.txt (0 bytes))

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

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

Is nice-protect.com safe for AI agents to use?

nice-protect.com currently scores 40/100 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.
