Zusammenfassung:A system and method is described for protecting applications against malicious URL links by identifying a final destination. The system and method also includes enabling a user process to directly connect to the final destination, bypassing the original URL altogether; thereby bypassing the hacker's ability to use that URL to programmatically send the application to a malicious site. L'invention concerne un système et un procédé pour la protection d'applications contre des liens URL malveillants par l'identification d'une destination finale. Le système et le procédé consiste également à permettre à un processus utilisateur de se connecter directement à la destination finale, contournant ainsi l'adresse URL d'origine, permettant ainsi de contrecarrer la capacité du pirate informatique à utiliser cette adresse URL pour une transmission programmatique de l'application vers un site malveillant.
