insomniSafe_Search

Inspiration

We wanted to make a safety measure such that users would not accidentally connect to malicious websites and become compromised.

What it does

InsomniCrack uses virustotal API and checks the website the user is attempting to access before allowing them to connect to the site.

How we built it

We utilized the virustotal API and the Python language to create a program ensuring safe internet access through our program.

Challenges we ran into

We had difficulty accessing the API from virustotal and converting the scraped data into manageable datatypes.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to have made a program which connects to an API and assists in safe web surfing for the user.

What we learned

We learned how to access API's and access webbrowsers through Python.

What's next for insomniSafe_Search

Eventually, we hope that insomniSafe_Search can become a browser extension which can check sites being accessed by the browser for any malicious intents before access. This would improve on our current version of insomniSafe because it would need much less user input to work while providing even greater safety.
