One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00049 | $0.02912 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.01456 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00582 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00291 |
Grade A, and why
analyzing-typosquatting-domains-with-dnstwist scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Analyzing Typosquatting Domains with DNSTwist
Overview
DNSTwist is a domain name permutation engine that generates similar-looking domain names to detect typosquatting, homograph phishing attacks, and brand impersonation. It creates thousands of domain permutations using techniques like character substitution, transposition, insertion, omission, and homoglyph replacement, then checks DNS records (A, AAAA, NS, MX), calculates web page similarity using fuzzy hashing (ssdeep) and perceptual hashing (pHash), and identifies potentially malicious registered domains.
When to Use
- When investigating security incidents that require analyzing typosquatting domains with dnstwist
- When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
- When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
- When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9+ with
dnstwistinstalled (pip install dnstwist[full]) - Optional: GeoIP database for IP geolocation
- Optional: Shodan API key for enrichment
- Network access to perform DNS queries
- Understanding of DNS record types and domain registration
Key Concepts
Domain Permutation Techniques
DNSTwist generates permutations using: addition (appending characters), bitsquatting (bit-flip errors), homoglyph (visually similar Unicode characters like rn vs m), hyphenation (adding hyphens), insertion (inserting characters), omission (removing characters), repetition (repeating characters), replacement (replacing with adjacent keyboard keys), subdomain (inserting dots), transposition (swapping adjacent characters), vowel-swap (swapping vowels), and dictionary-based (appending common words).
Fuzzy Hashing and Visual Similarity
DNSTwist uses ssdeep (locality-sensitive hash) to compare HTML content and pHash (perceptual hash) to compare screenshots of web pages. This helps identify cloned phishing sites that visually mimic the legitimate site. A high similarity score indicates a likely phishing page.
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

analyzing-typosquatting-domains-with-dnstwist is a skill published in the GitHub repository 26zl/cybersec-toolkit (54 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 2,912 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
