How do you detect malware and suspicious links?

[Lurkus]

Greetings to all. 

I have been in this forum for about 4 months and am studying various subjects. But even after giving the password to my account, it keeps showing wrong password. So I have opened this new account. I apologize to you that I have opened the account again. But I had no other choice. If I have done this outside the forum rules, then I am sincerely sorry.

Now let me talk about my main discussion.

You may be aware of this thread. Malware and suspicious links are reported here. I have been researching this topic for the last two weeks, how to detect these suspicious links and malware. But unfortunately I have failed to learn. But the curiosity to learn about this topic forced me to create this thread. I want to know from you, how malware and suspicious links are detected. So those who know well about this topic, please explain to me in your own way. I will be very benefited by this and I will be sincerely grateful to you.

Thanks in advance.

It is not wrong to register another account on this forum, what that is wrong is if you registered another account after you have been banned. That would be seen as ban evasion.

Did you not register the first account with email? If you registered it with email, you could have used forgot password on the login page to recover your account.

If you want to know about malware and suspicious links, it can be from knowing the original websites. Some sites online clone or mimick another websites. After investigating that the new links or related links are not legit links of the website, that is suspicious already.

Another are sites that lure you to download a file. If the site is suspicious and having new domain (but the domain may not be new), that is a red flag already.

Another are websites that is luring people to input their seed phrase. That is scam obviously.

Another one are fake websites that will lure people to connect their wallet. This can easily be known.

And so on.

As far as I know, having two accounts is not prohibited here. However, it is discouraged. Since the password for your previous account is not working, it means you have forgotten the password. If you want, you can try to solve the problem by reading this thread.

I'm not very educated on detecting malware or suspicious links. However, in the thread you mentioned, the OP has added a link to another thread in his original post.You can check out that linked thread if you want. Then hopefully you'll get the full information.

I learn about how to avoid scam online. If you search for it, you will learn from it. The other thing is that there are some user that are exposed on the reputation board and scam accusation board. I learned from them all also. Learning from these will be very helpful for you.

Most of them are in the altcoin board as far as I know. There could be new post about a certain project and then they will post a link in their ANN thread. But you must be very careful specially if those links contains zip files as it contains malware.

Or even pointing to a official github repository, and then they will have a link there that is potentially also laden with malware and trojan. So before you download, think many times or used tools online like virustotal to check the links.
