Overview

Lookyloo is a web page capture and investigation tool built by CIRCL, the Computer Incident Response Center Luxembourg, and used by CERTs and security teams to triage phishing and malicious sites. You give it a URL and it visits the page with a genuine headless browser, recording the complete journey: the redirect chain, every domain and resource the page pulls in, the cookies it sets, the scripts it runs and a screenshot of what a victim would actually see. The result is an interactive tree where each node can be expanded and inspected, so an analyst can see at a glance which third party actually delivers the payload, where credentials would be posted, or how a redirector hops between disposable domains. Captures can be kept, compared, re-run and shared with colleagues, and a self documented REST API plus the pylookyloo client let you submit and retrieve captures from your own tooling and automations.

Why the cloudimg image

This image ships Lookyloo with no credential of any kind baked in: the admin login simply does not exist until your VM generates its own unique password from system entropy on first boot, and that first boot proves the credential works and that a wrong password is rejected before it finishes. Capture of private and internal address space is refused out of the box, so the appliance cannot be turned into a probe of your own network or the cloud metadata service. The full stack is installed exactly the vendor's way, pinned to a verified upstream release, fronted by nginx, and the image is only ever published after a real end to end capture has been performed and verified on it. A paired deployment guide and 24/7 support are included.

Common uses

  • Phishing and malicious site triage: see the full redirect chain and what a victim's browser would load
  • Safe URL detonation for SOC and CERT analysts, without touching the suspicious site from your own workstation
  • Automated capture pipelines via the REST API for abuse desks and threat intelligence teams
