Link & Website Scanning

What it does

Paste a URL into XOE and get a quick safety report.

This helps you catch scam links and risky domains before they spread.

How to use

In Discord, use the /scan command with a URL:

/scan url:https://example.com

XOE will analyze the website and return a comprehensive safety report.

What you'll see

The scan performs comprehensive checks including:

•
Security checks: HTTPS/HTTP protocol, Google Safe Browsing, SSL certificate validation, mixed content detection, vulnerability scanning
•
Domain information: WHOIS data, domain age, name servers, domain status
•
Performance metrics: Load time, page size, request count
•
SEO analysis: Title & meta description, heading structure, image alt tags, link analysis
•
Technology detection: Frameworks, libraries, CMS, analytics tools
•
Web3 features: Web3 libraries, wallet connections, smart contracts, blockchain networks

LinkGuard - Automatic Protection

Beyond manual scanning, XOE includes LinkGuard - automatic link protection that runs in the background.

/linkguard on

When enabled, XOE automatically scans every link posted in your server against multiple threat databases:

•
Google Safe Browsing - the same database Chrome uses to block dangerous sites
•
PhishTank - community-verified phishing database
•
URLhaus - malware distribution URL database
•
Domain age detection - flags newly registered domains (most phishing domains are hours old)

Two modes are available:

•
Warn mode (default) - replies with a warning embed when a threat is detected
•
Strict mode - automatically deletes messages containing high-confidence threats

Best practice

•
Encourage mods to scan links before posting announcements
•
Create a simple rule: unknown links must be scanned first
•
If a link is risky, remove it from chat and warn the community

Fully Included — No Extra Cost

Link scanning is included at no cost for all XOE servers. All core scanning functionality — technical analysis, phishing detection, malware checks, and SafeBrowsing integration — is available immediately after installation.
