dnstwist

See what sort of trouble users can get in trying to type your domain name. Find similar-looking domains that adversaries can use to attack you. Can detect fraud, phishing attacks and corporate espionage. Useful as an additional source of targeted threat intelligence.

Required modules

If you want dnstwist to develop full power, please make sure the following Python modules are present on your system. If missing, dnstwist will still work, but without some cool features.

Variation techniques

The following are the algorithms implemented by dnstwist to generate domain name variations adversaries potentially could use:

  • Bitsquatting: simulates hardware errors in RAM, resulting in the mutation of the resolved domain name by a single bit.
  • Homoglyph: replaces a letter in the domain name with letters that look similar.
  • Repetition: repeats one of the letters in the domain name.
  • Transposition: swaps two letters within the domain name.
  • Replacement: replaces one of the letters in the domain name with an adjacent letter on the keyboard.
  • Ommission: removes one of the letters from the domain name.
  • Hyphenation: adds a hyphen character to the domain name.
  • Insertion: inserts an adjacent letter on the keyboard into the domain name.
  • Subdomain: adds a dot character to the domain name.
