2.2 Data Flow

   USER VISITS WEBSITE (https://www.example.com)
   ↓
   [1] content.js injects security bar at top of page
   ↓
   [2] content.js extracts URL features
   ↓
   [3] ai_model.js analyzes URL against 10 threat indicators
       - Result: Risk score 0-100
   ↓
   [4] vuln_scanner.js scans page HTML for vulnerabilities
       - Checks for: XSS, SQL Injection, CSRF, Clickjacking
       - Result: Vulnerability score 0-100
   ↓
   [5] content.js creates PAGE_FINDINGS message with:
       - URL
       - AI risk score
       - Vulnerability data
       - Vulnerability score
   ↓
   [6] chrome.runtime.sendMessage → background.js
   ↓
   [7] background.js calculates COMPOSITE RISK SCORE:
       - 60% AI Score + 30% Vulnerability Score + 10% VirusTotal
       - Final score: 0-100
   ↓
   [8] background.js SAVES LOG ENTRY to chrome.storage.local:
       {
         url: "https://www.example.com",
         aiScore: 25,
         vulnerabilityScore: 15,
         finalRisk: 22,
         timestamp: 1709251200000,
         vulnerabilities: {...}
       }
   ↓
   [9] IF risk > threshold:
       - Send notification to user
       - IF risk > 85: Show warning page / block
   ↓
   [10] content.js updates bar color based on score:
        - GREEN (0-34) = SAFE
        - YELLOW (35-59) = MEDIUM
        - ORANGE (60-84) = SUSPICIOUS
        - RED (85-100) = DANGEROUS

2.3 Script Execution Order

   CRITICAL: Scripts must load in this order (defined in manifest.json)
   
   1. utils.js
      └─ Provides Logger, sendNotification, storage functions
      └─ Must load FIRST (other scripts depend on it)
   
   2. ai_model.js
      └─ Provides window.aiPredictRisk function
      └─ Loads threat detection AI model
   
   3. vuln_scanner.js
      └─ Provides window.scanPageVulnerabilities function
      └─ Loads vulnerability detection engine
   
   4. content.js
      └─ Creates security bar
      └─ Uses all three above functions
      └─ Analyzes page and sends findings

   ORANGE: "🟧 SUSPICIOUS (71/100) - Phishing-attempt.xyz"
   RED:    "🟥 DANGEROUS (95/100) - Known-malware-site.com"

3.2 AI Threat Detection Model

   PURPOSE: Analyze URLs for malware/phishing indicators

   10 THREAT FACTORS (Machine Learning Features):
   
   Factor 1: Direct IP Address (Weight: 2.2)
   ├─ What: URL uses IP instead of domain (http://192.168.1.1)
   ├─ Why risky: Hides true domain, common in phishing
   └─ Example: "http://192.168.100.1/login" = HIGH RISK
   
   Factor 2: No HTTPS (Weight: 1.5)
   ├─ What: Using http:// instead of https://
   ├─ Why risky: No encryption, data exposed in transit
   └─ Example: "http://banksite.com" = MEDIUM RISK
   
   Factor 3: Long Hostname (Weight: 1.1)
   ├─ What: Domain name very long (>25 chars)
   ├─ Why risky: Often used to obfuscate real domain
   └─ Example: "verylongsubdomainname.malicious-site.com" = RISK
   
   Factor 4: Many Dashes in Domain (Weight: 1.4)
   ├─ What: Multiple hyphens (e.g., check-your-bank-account.com)
   ├─ Why risky: Typosquatting - looks like legitimate site
   └─ Example: "check-your-account-now.com" = RISK
   
   Factor 5: Many Digits (Weight: 1.4)
   ├─ What: Domain has lots of numbers (123456.com)
   ├─ Why risky: Random-looking = harder to remember = phishing
   └─ Example: "123456789.com" = RISK
   
   Factor 6: Risky TLD (Weight: 1.5)
   ├─ What: Suspicious top-level domain
   ├─ Examples: .zip, .click, .xyz, .buzz, .stream
   ├─ Why risky: Recently registered, cheap, easy to abuse
   └─ Known risky: 12 TLDs in detection list
   
   Factor 7: Phishing Keywords (Weight: 2.2)
   ├─ What: URL contains phishing-related words
   ├─ Keywords: verify, confirm, login, account, password,
   │            update, secure, urgent, action, required
   ├─ Why risky: Attempts to trick user into entering credentials
   └─ Example: "secure-account-verify.com" = HIGH RISK
   
   Factor 8: Risky File Extensions (Weight: 1.8)
   ├─ What: URL contains executable files
   ├─ Extensions: .exe, .bat, .scr, .jar, .msi, .zip
   ├─ Why risky: Could download malware
   └─ Example: "safe-download.com/malware.exe" = RISK
   
   Factor 9: Suspicious URL Path (Weight: 1.3)
   ├─ What: URL parameters look obfuscated/encoded
   ├─ Why risky: Hiding malicious payload in URL
   └─ Example: "site.com/?p=%61%62%63" = RISK
   
   Factor 10: Subdomain Spoofing (Weight: 0.9)
   ├─ What: Subdomain tries to look like different site
   ├─ Why risky: "g00gle.com" looks like "google.com"
   └─ Example: "secure-g00gle-login.com" = RISK

   SCORING ALGORITHM:
   
   Step 1: Extract features from URL
           score = 0
           bias = -0.8 (baseline)
   
   Step 2: For each detected feature, add weight
           if has_ip: score += 2.2
           if http_only: score += 1.5
           if many_dashes: score += 1.4
           ... (for all 10 factors)
   
   Step 3: Add bias and pass through sigmoid function
           score = score + bias
           probability = 1 / (1 + e^(-score))
   
   Step 4: Convert to 0-100 scale
           final_score = probability * 100
   
   RESULT: Risk score 0-100 (0=safe, 100=dangerous)

3.5 VirusTotal Integration

   PURPOSE: Scan URLs against 70+ antivirus engines with POPUP ALERTS

   HOW IT WORKS:
   ├─ Step 1: User right-clicks on link or page
   ├─ Step 2: Selects "🔍 Security Tools" → "🦠 Check on VirusTotal"
   ├─ Step 3: Extension shows "🔍 Scanning..." POPUP ALERT
   ├─ Step 4: Extension sends URL to VirusTotal API
   ├─ Step 5: VirusTotal scans against 70+ antivirus engines
   ├─ Step 6: Results arrive (2-5 seconds typically)
   ├─ Step 7: NEW POPUP ALERT shows results
   │  ├─ If threats: "🚨 THREATS DETECTED!\n\nDetections: X\nClean: Y"
   │  └─ If safe: "✅ No threats detected!\n\nDetections: 0\nClean: Y"
   └─ Step 8: Results automatically logged to dashboard

   POPUP ALERTS EXPLAINED:

   POPUP #1: Scanning Progress Alert
   ├─ When: Immediately after clicking menu option
   ├─ Content: "🔍 Scanning on VirusTotal...\n\n[URL being scanned]"

   └─ User can: Click OK to close, or wait for results popup

   POPUP #2: Results Alert (Threats Detected)
   ├─ When: After VirusTotal returns results showing detections
   ├─ Content: "🚨 THREATS DETECTED!\n\nDetections: 3\nClean: 67"
   ├─ Meaning:
   │  ├─ Detections: 3 = 3 antivirus engines flagged as malware
   │  └─ Clean: 67 = 67 antivirus engines marked as safe
   ├─ Risk interpretation:
   │  ├─ 0 detections = Safe
   │  ├─ 1-5 detections = Minor threat signals
   │  ├─ 5-10 detections = Moderate threat signals
   │  ├─ 10+ detections = Strong threat signals
   │  └─ 20+ detections = Likely malware
   └─ User action: Click OK to close, URL saved to dashboard

   POPUP #3: Results Alert (No Threats)
   ├─ When: After VirusTotal returns results showing no detections
   ├─ Content: "✅ No threats detected!\n\nDetections: 0\nClean: 70"
   ├─ Meaning:
   │  ├─ Detections: 0 = No antivirus engine flagged as malware
   │  └─ Clean: 70 = All 70 engines marked as safe/harmless
