4 threat patterns detected

high

tls connection failed

Could not establish TLS connection

high

phishing

The domain nregastrep.nic.in fails TLS connection entirely (connected=false, cert_valid=false). A legitimate Indian government NIC (National Informatics Centre) subdomain under nic.in would have a valid, trusted TLS certificate. The inability to establish a TLS connection is a strong indicator this may be a spoofed or compromised government domain, or a phishing infrastructure mimicking an official NREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) portal. (location: metadata.json: tls.connected=false, tls.cert_valid=false)

high

brand impersonation

The subdomain nregastrep.nic.in uses the 'nic.in' government domain pattern associated with India's National Informatics Centre, specifically referencing 'nrega' (NREGA scheme) and 'strep' (possibly 'state report'). However, TLS is completely broken and no page content was retrievable, which is inconsistent with a genuine operational government portal. This pattern is consistent with domain squatting or impersonation of official Indian government digital infrastructure targeting citizens or AI agents processing government service requests. (location: metadata.json: domain=nregastrep.nic.in, tls fields)

medium

social engineering

The domain targets NREGA (a major rural employment welfare scheme in India), a program whose beneficiaries are often low-income rural workers with limited digital literacy. Impersonating an NREGA reporting portal could be used to harvest Aadhaar numbers, bank account details, or job card information from vulnerable populations. The non-functional TLS and absence of any retrievable content suggests the site may be under construction for malicious use or actively blocking automated scanners.

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

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

Is nregastrep.nic.in safe for AI agents to use?

nregastrep.nic.in currently scores 47/100 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.
