Extension summary

URLDefenseDecoder

URLDefenseDecoder is a Chrome Extension which provides the ability to "copy a decoded Proofpoint URLDefense URL to clipboard via Chrome's right-click context menu."

Usage

Right-Click a URLDefense encoded URL, or triple-click-select-all of a plaintext URLDefense URL, and right-click to get a Chrome Context Menu option called "Copy URLDefense-Decoded-Link". Click that menu item and the link will be copied to your clipboard. Or you can also manually paste encoded urls into the extension popup box from the toolbar.

Known/Potential Issues

All of which should be cleaned up in due time...

  1. Nested context menu entries occur when selecting a hyperlink and having already selected, and/or still highlighting, a previous URLDefense URL.
  2. Code is not commented, there's no error handling/logging, sorry
  3. I've only tested for /v2 URLs as I don't have access to /v1 Proofpoint, but I assume /v1 will work. And it has not been tested with outrageously complex syntax, but it should work well.

Please report issues!

Nice tool. But how about saving me a step, and adding a context menu option to open the decoded URL in a new tab
