SquatCobbler

generates list of registered typo squatting domains from an input and returns them in json. Uses built in DNS resolver on windows, and a golang dns resolver on linux. This allows more threads and as a result will run much faster on linux.

Optionally look up whois info on all domains that exist

Usage

SquatCobbler has the following arguments:

-i string
      a file to read input from or a single domain input

-o string
      a file to write output to, otherwise goes to stdout

-whois
      if true lookup whois for all domains

Examples

./squatcobbler -i inputlist.txt -o existingdomains.json -whois

Read a domain per line from inputlist, generate variations, check whois information, and write output to existingdomains.json

./squatcobbler -i google.com 

Generate variations from google.com without checking whois and write to stdout (still in json)

Variations

The following variations are generated:

1. Homograph
   Swap characters in SLD for similar looking characters (including unicode/punnycode) - e.g. 0 for o

2. Typo

3. Combination

4. Swap
