Detection Method: HTML analysis

HTML analysis looks at the HTML code in emails, web pages, or attachments to spot potentially malicious elements or deceptive structures. It examines both what’s visible and hidden in the HTML to uncover tactics often used in phishing or malware attacks.
HTML analysis can help you detect:
  • Hidden scripts or iframes that might run harmful code
  • Obfuscated JavaScript designed to avoid detection
  • Misleading hyperlinks where the displayed text doesn’t match the real URL
  • Forms made to steal credentials or sensitive data
  • Suspicious HTML comments with hidden instructions
  • CSS tricks used to hide malicious content
For example, phishing emails often use HTML to replicate trusted login pages. HTML analysis can catch the hidden forms and scripts trying to steal your credentials.
