Abstract: With the boom of the Internet, and particularly of social networks, information sharing possibilities have increased. In this context, the so called URL shortening services, consisting of compacting a web link into a much shorter and manageable one, have arisen. However, the popularity of Web 2.0 also causes users to be unprotected against certain types of unwanted contents and attacks motivated by the desire of economic profit, which translates as an exponential increase in security incidents. Moreover, URL shortening services provide attackers a new method of obfuscation to malicious web links, hindering the analysis and detection of unwanted sites. Thus, we propose here a solution to solve the real destination of a shortened URL, analysing it in terms of security.
