openSquat: Opensource Intelligence (OSINT)

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 and scams.

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
  • Doppenganger domains
  • 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

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/atenreiro/opensquat
