Scanos Documentation

How scanning is triggered

• Move your cursor over links and clickable button-like elements.
• Scanos extracts the destination and sends a reputation lookup request.
• A status signal is returned so you can decide before clicking.

Interpreting scan timing

• First scans can take slightly longer due to network round trips.
• Cached or repeated targets are often faster.
• Slow responses typically indicate network delay or upstream API throttling.

Practical usage tips

• Pause briefly on unfamiliar links to allow verdict retrieval.
• Combine Scanos verdicts with URL inspection before opening sensitive pages.
• Avoid clicking immediately when a target is still being evaluated.
