analyzing-typosquatting-domains-with-dnstwist

analyzing-typosquatting-domains-with-dnstwist is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Youngmaidainon/Agent-Level-Up. It costs 72 tokens per session (3,112 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of analyzing-typosquatting-domains-with-dnstwist, MIT.

A procedure for finding lookalike internet domains that imitate an organisation's real domain. It generates possible misspellings and checks whether those domains are active or resemble the real website.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to monitor for suspicious domains, investigate phishing sites, and assess the risk of someone impersonating a brand online.
Why use it?
It helps uncover typosquatting, phishing, and brand impersonation before or during an attack.

Token cost

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.

Security

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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/agent.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 dnstwist installed (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 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.
