VERRET

In development — not yet available to download

Verret checks the things you are not sure about

A link, a message, an email address, a phone number, a QR code. Verret looks at what it can, tells you what it found and what it could not check, and says what to do next.

The page behind the address

We checked the address itself, not what it would show you.

What to do

Bin it and move on

  1. 01 Do not open the link or pay anything.
  2. 02 If you are expecting a parcel, go to the courier’s own site yourself.

What Verret looks at

01

Links

Where an address actually leads, and whether it is known for anything.

Reads the address, not the page behind it.

02

Messages

The shape of a message: what it asks for, how it pressures you, what it threatens.

Judges the words in front of it, never who sent them.

03

Email addresses

Whether an address is what it appears to be, and whether it has turned up in a breach.

Cannot tell you who is behind an address.

04

Phone numbers

Checked against numbers people have reported.

Says so plainly when we have nothing on a number.

05

QR codes

What a code would do, before it does it.

Your phone reads the code; the picture never leaves the device.

06

Files

A file fingerprint checked against known-bad ones.

Checks the fingerprint. It does not open the file.

No guarantees

It tells you what it could not check

Every answer says what we checked and what we could not. A limit left out reads as coverage, so we state it. When we cannot be certain, we say so rather than rounding up to a clean answer.
