Hi forum friends,
When scanning for malicious pages the best method to use is that of old cold reconnaissance.
Get the facts without actually going there. So scan the url with an online URL scanner. VirusTotal, Sucri SteCheck, UrlVoid, UrlQuery, there is a whole plethora to choose from.
Some scanners to scan code should be used with care, so use the scanner sandboxed or in a virtual environment with script blockers active. An example here is jsunpack, or using a malcode browser like malzilla. Scanning a malcious site even via a webproxy can be dangerous (in the best scenario the avast Networkshield or Webshield is going to alert and block the connection or Google Safeweb or a web rep extensions will ask you to go back on your tracks). In that case watch your clicks or cut and paste the suspect URL into an online scanner. Or come here and ask some of us that do this on a daily basis - Pondus, Asyn, Dim@rik, etc.
If you are notified a site has bad code, to go to that particular site in your browser and THEN requesting to view the source, could lead to an infection of the PC you are on.
If that malcode is active, up and responsive your computer (especially if vulnerable to the used injected code) could have an infection of some sort and the chance is there your av will not detect it. (If malcode is there and you are vulnerable you have a near 100% hit, even another random injection entry will hit your comp, but mind you, you are playing Russian roulette, so don’t. Have a nice Christmas folks,
