Some hardening improvements can be made:

  • Missing security header to prevent Content Type sniffing. Affected pages:
    http://fakku.net/ for Google’s UA
    https://www.fakku.net/404javascript.js
    https://www.fakku.net/404testpage4525d2fdc
    https://www.fakku.net/hentai
  • Missing Strict-Transport-Security security header.
  • Missing Content-Security-Policy directive. We recommend to add the following CSP directives (you can use default-src if all values are the same): script-src, object-src, base-uri, frame-src

However, these hardening improvements don’t impact the Sucuri grade.

To check this further I ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on the site fakku.net and it says the page is clean. You can see the same here: Unmask Parasites scan for the site fakku.net.

The last test I did was browsing the Fakku.net domain with the Malwarebytes Browser Guard on my Edge browser, and it allowed me to use the site without suggesting it was compromised, which means it does not think there is malware on the site.

In conclusion, we have determined the Fakku.net site to be very safe to visit. Overall grade: Safe.
