Typo Generator

Takes the list of generated typo URLs and queries each one to determine if they are a valid website. Saves a screenshot of the returned website to server to users at a later date. Takes in a single argument a json file check out example file for format

local_test_server

A flask server that uses multithreading as apposed to a master/slave architecture. Helpful for testing functionality without setting up a mysql server
