openSquat

What is openSquat?

openSquat is an opensource Intelligence (OSINT) R&D project to identify cyber squatting threats to specific companies or domains, such as:

• Domain squatting
• Typo squatting
• IDN homograph attacks
• Phishing
• Scams

This is an opensource project so everyone's welcomed to contribute.

It does support some key features such as:

• Automatic newly registered domain updating (once a day)
• Levenshtein distance to calculate word similarity
• IDN homograph attack detection
• Use different levels of confidence threshold to fine tune
• Save output into different formats (txt, JSON and CSV)
• Can be integrated with other threat intelligence tools and DNS sinkholes
