## What is Kangal?

Kangal - your phone cybersecurity guardian.

Fake delivery SMS, look-alike bank links, "your account is locked" calls, betting spam... Scammers strike every day. Kangal tells you in seconds whether that link, that message, or that phone number is safe - and explains exactly why.


WHAT IT CHECKS

- Links and URLs: phishing, brand impersonation, malware-distribution detection
- QR Codes: scan from camera or pick from gallery
- SMS and Messages: scam patterns, urgency tactics, identity spoofing
- Screenshots: extracts text from screenshots via OCR, then analyzes
- Files: SHA-256 hash check via VirusTotal (your file is never uploaded)
- Phone Numbers: 14,000+ Turkish spam database plus global IPQualityScore
- Email Addresses: data breach lookup


EXTRA TOOLS

- Strong Password Generator: 8 to 64 characters, fully customizable
- Secure Password Vault: Face ID and AES-256 encryption, stays on your device


WHY YOU CAN TRUST IT

Each scan queries 6 intelligence sources at once:
- Kangal's own threat database
- VirusTotal (70+ antivirus engines)
- Google Safe Browsing
- USOM (Turkish national CERT)
- IPQualityScore and SkipCalls (global phone intel)
- AI (GPT-4) contextual analysis


PRIVACY FIRST

- Files are never uploaded - only their SHA-256 hashes
- Passwords stay on your device behind Face ID
- Analysis history is local, clear it any time
- TLS 1.3 end-to-end encryption
- NO access to your contacts, SMS inbox, or call log


6 LANGUAGES

English, Turkish, Spanish, Russian, German, Portuguese
