Show HN: Domain Typosquatting Monitoring Tool (Open Beta)

5 points by ianmuscat a year ago · 0 comments · 1 min read

Hey HN! About a year ago, we launched (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32984110) Have I Been Squatted, a tool to detect domain typosquatting leveraging our own open-source twistrs (https://github.com/haveibeensquatted/twistrs) library. While it was still in its early days, it managed to survive the initial traffic surge. Since then, we’ve grown a small community, iterated a lot, and built out new features.

We've been working hard on extending the tool to monitor domains for typosquatting over time and we’re now opening up access to our new Domain Monitoring tool for free for a couple of days to anyone interested to give it a spin—just sign-up, no strings (or credit cards) attached. We’d love for you to try it out and share constructive feedback.

We’ve expanded on our tool quite a bit since its initial launch—there are now screenshots, website classification, geolocation, DNS analysis, and more. Anomaly detection is also in the works, but still in the research phase. We plan to share more about that in a dedicated engineering post soon.

Would love to hear your thoughts!
