Glossary Quiz

A quick multiple-choice quiz pulled live from SecAIQ's glossary: you're shown a term and asked to pick its correct definition from a set of plausible-sounding alternatives. It's a fast way to build real familiarity with cybersecurity and AI-safety vocabulary rather than just skimming definitions once and forgetting them.

Screenshot Masker

Blur, pixelate, or block out names, phone numbers, IBANs, or anything else in a screenshot before you share it. Everything happens in your browser.

Photo Metadata Cleaner

Every photo you take carries hidden metadata, exact GPS coordinates, the make and model of your device, and sometimes even a cropped-out thumbnail of the original image. This tool reads that metadata, shows you exactly what it reveals, and strips it out before you share the photo. Everything happens locally in your browser: the file is never uploaded to any server.

Digital Footprint Check

Most people underestimate how much a stranger can piece together about them from public information alone. This is a guided self-assessment, not an automated scan, walking you through exactly what to go check yourself: search-engine results, old social accounts, data-broker listings, location data in photos, and what your professional profile gives away. Your progress is saved only in your own browser.

Password Strength & Breach Check

Check how strong a password is and whether it has already leaked in a known data breach, entirely in your browser. Your password is never sent anywhere in full.

Should I Tell This to AI?

It's easy to paste a whole email thread or document into a chatbot without noticing the password, ID number, or client detail buried inside it. This tool scans your text for common sensitive-data patterns before you send it anywhere, flagging what to remove or redact first. Nothing you paste here is sent anywhere, the scan runs entirely in your browser.

Phishing Recognition Quiz

Look at sample emails and text messages and decide which are phishing and which are safe, then see a short explanation after each answer.

Link & Phishing Checker

Phishing links rely on you not looking closely, a domain that's one character off, a redirect chain that ends up somewhere else entirely, or a file extension disguised to look safe. Paste any link here and this tool breaks down its real structure: the actual destination domain, lookalike-brand detection, hidden redirects, and risky extensions, all analyzed locally without visiting the site.
