TLD risk evaluation portal
Why Choose This Project
Top-Level Domains (TLDs) can vary in terms of trustworthiness and susceptibility to malicious activity. Certain TLDs are often abused for phishing, spam, malware distribution, or fraudulent activities. Organizations and cybersecurity teams need a way to evaluate the risk associated with TLDs before allowing user registrations, email communication, or web access. This project provides a web-based portal that assesses TLD risk using historical data, threat intelligence, and domain reputation scoring, helping admins make informed decisions.
What You Get
A web-based platform where users or administrators can input domain names and TLDs to evaluate associated risks. The system provides risk scores, historical data on abuse, phishing incidence, and other security metrics. It also allows continuous monitoring of new TLDs and generates alerts for high-risk domains. The portal includes dashboards for trend visualization, reporting, and optional API integration for automated evaluation.
