Everything Rubiscout does

From a single paste of raw headers, Rubiscout runs the full chain โ€” AI forensics, live DNS checks, IP reputation lookups, and generates a report you can share or print.

AI Investigation

๐Ÿ”ฌ

Investigative Bench

An AI-powered chat interface appears after every analysis. Ask follow-up questions with full email context already baked in โ€” no need to re-paste anything.

๐Ÿ’ก

Context-Aware Suggested Questions

The bench surfaces 4 suggested questions tailored to the risk level โ€” Critical analyses get immediate response guidance, Low risk gets verification questions.

โœ๏ธ

Draft Ready-to-Use Content

Ask Claude to draft IT security alerts, HR notices, phishing reports, or emails to your bank's fraud team โ€” it produces complete copy-paste text, not generic templates.

๐Ÿ’ฌ

Multi-Turn Investigation

Ask as many follow-up questions as you need. Claude remembers the full conversation context so you can dig progressively deeper without repeating yourself.

Analysis

๐Ÿ’ฌ

Plain-English Verdict

Every analysis opens with a single sentence written for a non-technical reader โ€” clearly stating whether the email is dangerous, suspicious, or safe, and what to do.

๐Ÿค–

AI-Powered Header Forensics

Claude reads all header fields together โ€” routing hops, authentication results, display-name vs. address mismatches, Reply-To anomalies โ€” and explains what it found.

๐Ÿ“Š

Risk Score

A four-level risk rating (Low / Medium / High / Critical) with a detailed explanation of exactly which signals drove the score.

๐Ÿ”

Authentication Breakdown

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC results extracted from the header and displayed with color-coded pass/fail/softfail badges.

๐Ÿ“

Origin & Routing Path

The originating IP address, geolocation country flag, and a step-by-step trace of every mail server the message passed through.

๐Ÿงพ

Sender Field Analysis

From, Return-Path, and Reply-To extracted and compared โ€” mismatches between these fields are a primary indicator of spoofing and BEC attacks.

โฑ๏ธ

Hop Timing Visualization

The routing path is shown as a color-coded visual timeline โ€” green for normal delays, yellow/orange for slow hops, red for delays over 30 minutes. Suspicious delays are automatically flagged as potential botnet or relay indicators.

Verification

๐ŸŒ

Live DNS Validation

Real-time DNS lookups at analysis time retrieve the sending domain's actual SPF and DMARC records โ€” then compare them to what the headers claim. Discrepancies are flagged immediately.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

IP Reputation Check

The sending IP is checked against five major DNSBL blacklists โ€” Spamhaus ZEN, SpamCop, Barracuda, SORBS, and SpamRATS โ€” using pure DNS. No API key, no external service dependency.

Guidance

โœ…

Actionable Recommendations

3โ€“5 specific steps tailored to this exact email's threat profile. Not "check your spam settings" โ€” concrete actions like "forward to your bank's fraud team at reportphishing@..." or "do not click โ€” report via your company's incident response portal."

๐Ÿ“–

How to Extract Headers Guide

Built-in step-by-step instructions for finding raw email headers in Gmail, Outlook (desktop), Outlook Web, Apple Mail, and Yahoo Mail โ€” with a modal that opens without leaving the page.

Sharing & Reporting

๐Ÿ”—

Shareable Analysis Links

Every analysis gets a permanent URL (/analysis/[id]) you can share with colleagues, IT teams, or security researchers. No account required.

๐Ÿ“„

Phishing Incident Report

For Critical and High risk emails, a professional printable report is generated โ€” covering verdict, risk score, authentication results, sender details, routing path, and recommended actions. Print or save as PDF in one click.

Community & UX

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Community Analysis Counter

A live count of all email headers analyzed by the Rubiscout community โ€” a persistent global tally that grows with every submission.

๐Ÿ•‘

Recent Analysis History

Your last 10 analyses from the past 30 days are shown below the input so you can quickly revisit a previous result.

๐Ÿ”ก

Font Size Toggle

Switch between Small, Medium, and Large text sizes โ€” your preference is saved in the browser so it persists across sessions.

๐Ÿ”ข

Character Counter & Limit

A live character count with a 50,000-character limit and an early warning at 40,000 โ€” very large headers are flagged before submission.
