| Apr 6, 2023 at 3:50 | comment | added | music2myear | There are sites that create VMs that can open questionable links in a controlled and automated way. I'm unable to recall the name of the sites at the moment, but I observed a security coworker using one a couple weeks ago. They fed the link into the site and it followed the links and inspected the results and then gave a report on any malware found. | |

clarification about the real question
|
| Mar 30, 2022 at 17:33 | comment | added | Forgotten-Storm | The question may not have been clear enough let me rephrase it. How can I safely open a link that I know is malicious? | |

| Mar 29, 2022 at 12:09 | comment | added | Ramhound | "So that makes me wonder what's the safest way to view the website whilst making sure that even if it contains a virus my computer won't get infected?" - The only safe way to open a malicious suspicious link is never to open it. Why must you open the link to determine if it's legitimate, in every single browser, you can hover a link BEFORE clicking on it. | |
