If you've stumbled across milanesa.ime.usp.br looking for educational software from the LInE research lab at the University of São Paulo, you've found a real academic project — not a scam. The domain has belonged to USP since before 1995, and Google hasn't flagged it for malware or phishing. So why is our verdict Dangerous?
Because the site has no HTTPS encryption whatsoever. That means any information you type into a form or log in with is sent in plain text over the internet. For an educational resource that hosts course materials and interactive tools like iVProg and iGeom, the lack of a secure connection is a serious problem. Most university-run sites today have at least basic SSL. Without it, even if the content itself is legitimate, an attacker on the same Wi-Fi network could intercept your traffic.
For students or teachers trying to access course content, the advice is straightforward: don't log in from a public or shared network, and don't reuse any password you care about on this site. The software projects themselves appear to be genuine open-source educational tools. But until the lab enables HTTPS, treat the site as readable-only and avoid sending any personal data. If you need to submit assignments or interact with the Moodle integration, ask your instructor if there's a secure alternative URL.
