Link points at an IP encoded in decimal / hex / octal to bypass filters

href-obfuscated-ip-host

What this tier means

High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.

How Gorganizer detects this

A link href points at an IP address encoded in a non-standard form that browsers accept but rule-based filters miss. Modern browsers resolve all of these as equivalent to a normal dotted-quad IP: pure decimal 32-bit integer (`http://3627734734/`), pure hex (`http://0xC0A80001/`), dotted hex (`http://0xC0.0xA8.0x00.0x01/`), dotted octal (`http://0300.0250.0000.0001/`), and mixed bases. Phishing kits deliberately use these encodings to bypass dotted-quad-aware detection — no legitimate sender ever emits them. This is the encoded-IP sibling of `href-raw-ip-host`.

False-positive guard

Every signal in Gorganizer feeds a multi-module score — never a sole verdict. This is a threat-tier signal — it adds a strong contribution to the trash score. The full pipeline still requires convergence across multiple modules + a margin over the safety floor before deletion happens, and Gmail's trash (30-day recovery) is always used — never permanent delete.

About the scoring engine

Gorganizer's scoring engine emits over 1,800 signals across six modules — headers, sender, subject, body, attachments, and structural metadata. Every email is scored by every module independently; the final verdict requires multiple modules to agree and the trash score to beat the safety floor by a margin.

Sacred safety guards — never delete starred emails, replies, calendar invites, receipts/invoices, or attachments — apply unconditionally regardless of any signal.
