☢ About QR Hazmat
☢ What is this?
QR Hazmat is a sealed laboratory for QR codes and barcodes. It safely decodes what's inside without ever acting on the payload.
Think of it as a bomb disposal unit for those mysterious QR codes you find on stickers, posters, and suspicious emails. We open the package in a controlled environment so you don't have to.
🛡 Containment Guarantees
- We NEVER follow links or connect to URLs
- We NEVER execute any code found in scanned items
- We NEVER send your scan data anywhere
- All processing happens entirely on your device
🔎 What we detect
Our threat analysis engine checks for URL shorteners, IP-address URLs, unencrypted HTTP links, JavaScript injection, data URIs, punycode/homograph domains, suspicious TLDs, embedded credentials, excessive subdomains, phishing keywords, hidden characters, deceptive file extensions, and many other attack patterns.
⚠ Important Disclaimer
Only you can decide if a QR code is safe. We flag known risk patterns, but we cannot guarantee that any code is harmless. A "no known threats" result does not mean "safe" — it means we didn't find anything obviously suspicious.
Before acting on any scanned content, ask yourself: Do I recognize this URL? Does the domain look right, or has it been subtly altered to mimic a real site? Is there any reason someone would put this QR code here? When in doubt, don't click it.
🧪 Why "Hazmat"?
Because scanning unknown QR codes is the digital equivalent of sniffing an unmarked container. We provide the protective gear.
♥ Support the Containment Effort
Running a hazmat lab isn't cheap. Well, actually it is — this is a free web app. But the developer still enjoys coffee.
This is the ONE link we vouch for. Yes, we appreciate the irony of an anti-link app asking you to click a link.
Donations are entirely optional and deeply appreciated. The app will always remain free.
