How darcy Works

Automated Analysis

  • darcy receives the scam messages you send it and breaks them down into components, e.g. domain names, phone numbers, links, attachments, images, audio, video, and prose.
  • Each component is then analyzed for suspiciousness, e.g. emails that create a sense of urgency, links that get re-directed to sites that install malware, voice audio that requests passwords or PINs.
  • The result of each component analysis is re-analyzed as a whole and darcy produces its recommendation.
