Computerized system for analysis and of electronic communication systems
A computerized system for analysis of electronic communication systems comprising: a set of testing computer readable instructions adapted for: receiving an email address representing a target message system to be tested, generating a test email wherein the test message requests a reply message, receiving a reply from the target message system, analyzing the test message and the reply message according to a security test taken from the group consisting of: a TLS encryption analysis, a MX record exposure, a DKIM presence, a SPF presence, a DMARC presence, a reputational information, a reverse DNS lookup consistency and any combination thereof to provide score deduction factors, generating an aggregate deduction value according to the set of security score deduction factors, generating a security score, displaying the security score, and, displaying recommendations for target message system modifications according to the security score deduction factor.
1 . A computerized system for analysis of electronic communication systems comprising:
a computerized testing system; and,
a set of testing computer readable instructions included in the computerized testing system adapted for:
receiving an email address representing a target message system to be tested,
generating a test email addressed to the target message system wherein the test message requests a reply message,
generating a test message according to the test email address,
sending the test message to the target message system with a reply instructions providing instructions to the recipient on how to reply,
receiving a reply from the target message system according to the reply instructions,
analyzing the test message and the reply message according to a security test taken from the group consisting of: a TLS encryption analysis, a MX record exposure, a DKIM presence, a SPF presence, a DMARC presence, a reputational information, a reverse DNS lookup consistency and any combination thereof thereby providing a set of security score deduction factors,
generating an aggregate deduction value according to the set of security score deduction factors,
generating a security score according to subtracting the aggregate deduction value from a base value,
displaying the security score, and,
displaying recommendations for target message system modifications according to the security score deduction factor.
2 . A computerized system of claim 1 wherein the set of testing computer readable instructions area adapted for determining whether a DMARC record is present and increasing the security score deduction factor if the DMARC record is not present.
3 . A computerized system of claim 1 wherein the set of testing computer readable instructions area adapted for requesting a reputational information from an email service provider and increasing the security score deduction according to the reputational information.
4 . A computerized system of claim 3 wherein the security score deduction is increased by a difference between one hundred and a reputational score.
5 . A computerized system of claim 3 wherein the reputational information is associated with a target message system domain.
6 . A computerized system of claim 3 wherein the reputational information is associated with a target message IP address.
7 . A computerized system of claim 3 wherein the reputational information is created according to reputational factors taken from the group consisting of spam placement rate, read rate, deleted before reading rate, open rate, click rate, reply rate, forward rate, complaint rate, non-spam rate, hard bounces, spam traps and any combination thereof.
8 . A computerized system for analysis of electronic communication systems comprising:
a computerized testing system;
a set of testing computer readable instructions included in the computerized testing system adapted for:
generating a test message having a created test email address,
sending the test message to a target message system with a reply instructions, receiving a reply message from a target message system addressed to the computerized testing system according to the test message and the reply instructions,
calculating a security score according to a security test taken from the group consisting of: a TLS encryption analysis, a MX record exposure, a DKIM presence, a SPF presence, a DMARC presence, a reputational information, a reverse DNS lookup consistency and any combination thereof, and,
displaying the security score.
9 . A computerized system of claim 8 wherein the set of testing computer readable instructions are adapted for displaying a recommendation associated with the target message system according to the security score.
10 . The computerized system of claim 8 wherein security score is a first security score, and the set of testing computer readable instructions are adapted for calculating a second security score and providing an aggregate security score according to the first security score and the second security score.
11 . The computerized system of claim 8 wherein the set of testing computer readable instructions are adapted for calculating the security score according to a geographic location associated with the target messaging system IP address.
12 . The computerized system of claim 8 wherein the set of testing computer readable instructions are adapted for calculating the security score according to a testing frequency associated with the target messaging system.
13 . The computerized system of claim 8 wherein the set of testing computer readable instructions are adapted for calculating the security score according to a determination of the presence of a tracking item.
14 . A computerized system for analysis of electronic communication systems comprising:
a computerized testing system; and,
a set of testing computer readable instructions included in the computerized testing system adapted for:
receiving a reply message according to a test message created by the computerized testing system and sent to a target message system wherein the reply is created according to reply instructions accompanying the test message and the reply message is addressed to the computerized testing system, and,
calculating a security score according to a security test taken from the group consisting of: a TLS encryption analysis, a MX record exposure, a DKIM presence, a SPF presence, a DMARC presence, a reputational information, a reverse DNS lookup consistency, tracking item, and any combination thereof.
15 . The computerized system of claim 14 wherein the set of testing computer readable instructions are adapted for transmitting the security score to an email address associated with the test message.
16 . The computerized system of claim 14 wherein the set of testing computer readable instructions are adapted for retrieving a recommendation according to the security score and displaying the recommendation.
