Comprehensive Domain Generation & Analysis

12+ Advanced Fuzzing Techniques

Our system generates hundreds to thousands of potential clone variations of your domain using 12+ sophisticated algorithms:

Domain Generation Technologies:

  • Addition: Extra character insertion (google.com → googgle.com)
  • Bitsquatting: Memory bit-flip exploitation (amazon.com → amczon.com)
  • Homoglyph: Visually similar characters from different alphabets (paypal.com → payраl.com)
  • Hyphenation: Strategic hyphen placement (facebook.com → face-book.com)
  • Insertion: Character insertion at key positions (google.com → googzle.com)
  • Omission: Strategic character removal (facebook.com → faceboo.com)
  • Repetition: Character duplication (google.com → gooogle.com)
  • Replacement: Similar-looking character substitution (microsoft.com → micros0ft.com)
  • Subdomain: Malicious subdomain creation (paypal.com → secure-paypal.com.fake.net)
  • Transposition: Adjacent character swapping (amazon.com → amzaon.com)
  • Various: Multi-technique combinations (google.com → goog-le.com)
  • Vowel-Swap: Vowel substitution (facebook.com → fecebook.com)

Parallel Domain Validation:

Each generated domain is immediately checked for:

  • DNS resolution and registration status
  • HTTP/HTTPS accessibility
  • Active hosting verification
  • Response status codes

Multi-Layered Threat Analysis

7 Advanced Detection Layers

Every discovered domain undergoes comprehensive analysis across multiple dimensions:

Layer 1: Visual Similarity Detection

  • Screenshot capture (desktop + mobile)
  • SSDeep fuzzy hashing
  • Perceptual hashing (pHash, wHash)
  • SIFT logo matching
  • Color histogram analysis
  • Deep learning similarity (ResNet/VGG)

Similarity Score: 0-100% match percentage

Layer 2: Content Analysis

  • Logo detection and extraction
  • Favicon analysis
  • DOM tree structure comparison
  • CSS fingerprinting
  • HTML tag sequence matching
  • Text content similarity (TF-IDF)

Layer 3: Certificate Intelligence

  • SSL/TLS certificate chain analysis
  • Certificate Transparency monitoring
  • Certificate issuer validation
  • Certificate age verification
  • Suspicious certificate detection

Layer 4: Domain Intelligence

  • WHOIS data collection
  • DNS records comparison
  • Reverse IP lookup
  • IP geolocation analysis
  • ASN analysis
  • Hosting provider reputation

Layer 5: Behavioral Analysis

  • Login form detection
  • Redirect chain analysis
  • JavaScript obfuscation detection
  • Iframe analysis
  • External resource patterns

Layer 6: Threat Intelligence

  • PhishTank database check
  • OpenPhish feed integration
  • Domain reputation APIs
  • Newly registered domain monitoring
  • Known phishing pattern detection

Layer 7: Risk Scoring

Weighted multi-factor risk calculation:

30% Visual similarity
20% Domain intelligence
15% Certificate analysis
15% Content similarity
10% Behavioral indicators
10% Threat intelligence

Risk Categories: Critical | High | Medium | Low
