🛠️ How It Works

This actor queries an edge-deployed Cloudflare Worker gateway, which acts as a secure reverse-proxy. The gateway forwards an inquiry to Microsoft's official discovery endpoints (odc.officeapps.live.com). It reads the authentication responses, parses the underlying IdP tags, and converts the results into a standardized format.

• Registered Personal Account: Returns Microsoft Account (is_registered = true).
• Work or School Directory: Identifies organization-managed profiles.
• Not Registered: Identifies if the email address is completely unregistered with Microsoft services (is_registered = false).
