SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires dnstwist, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Typosquatting and brand impersonation domains enable phishing and brand damage. This Skill helps security teams quickly identify lookalike domains by generating permutations, checking DNS records, registration status, and visual similarity signals.

Core Features & Use Cases

Domain permutation generation using multiple techniques (omission, addition, homoglyph, hyphenation, etc.)
DNS resolution checks, MX presence, and registration status to prioritize threats
Web similarity scoring (ssdeep/phash) to detect cloned sites
Continuous monitoring and alerting for newly registered typosquats
Use cases: incident response, brand protection, and threat-hunting for domains around your brand

Quick Start

Run a typosquatting scan against your target domain using the included workflow to generate permutations and identify high-risk domains.

FAQPage Schema

How do I detect typosquatting domains targeting my brand?▼

Detect typosquatting domains by generating domain permutations using techniques like omission, addition, homoglyph, and hyphenation, then checking DNS records and registration status to prioritize active threats against your brand.

What is dnstwist and how does it identify homoglyph and typosquatting threats?▼

DNSTwist is a tool that identifies homoglyph and typosquatting threats by generating permutations of a target domain and resolving their DNS records, MX presence, and registration status to assess impersonation risk.

How do I monitor newly registered lookalike domains for phishing attacks?▼

Monitor newly registered lookalike domains by running continuous domain permutation scans and DNS resolution checks to alert security teams when fresh typosquatting domains targeting the enterprise appear.

Can I assess typosquatting risk using DNS and WHOIS enrichment data?▼

Yes, you can assess typosquatting risk by enriching generated domain permutations with DNS lookups, optional WHOIS data, and MX presence to calculate risk scores and prioritize recommended actions.

What are the limitations of using dnstwist for brand protection domain monitoring?▼

Limitations include requiring Python 3.9+ and dnstwist installed, relying on DNS resolution for threat prioritization, and potentially missing inactive threats if optional WHOIS and MX enrichment data is unavailable.
