🕵🏻‍♂️ URL Inspector – Help Guide

Overview

The URL Inspector is a lightweight tool designed to help security engineers analyze, decode, and investigate URLs quickly. It supports base64 decoding, redirect detection, parameter tagging, and more — all in a simple interface.

URL Input

Paste a full URL into the input field. Press Enter or click Check to parse it. The input is automatically focused on load and when the tab regains focus.

Parameter Detection

All query parameters and path segments are parsed and labeled:

• 🚨 Sensitive – API keys, tokens, sessions
• 🔁 Redirects – Parameters like url, redirect_uri, next
• 📈 Tracking – UTM tags, referral IDs

Base64 Decoding

Parameters that appear to be Base64 or JWT-encoded get a Decode 🧩 button. It supports:

• Recursive decoding (multi-level Base64)
• JWT splitting and decoding
• Safe handling of invalid strings

Redirect Checks

Redirect-like parameters are flagged and monitored. You can click the VT Scan button to investigate where they might lead, using VirusTotal.

VirusTotal Integration

Clicking the VT Scan button opens VirusTotal with the domain preloaded — in a new tab (in background if browser allows). It doesn’t send any data directly to VT from your machine.
