Package name : dnstwist Version : 20190706 Upstream Author : Marcin Ulikowski <mar...@ulikowski.pl> URL : https://github.com/elceef/dnstwist License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: Python Description : Domain name permutation engine For a given domain name, dnstwist generates a list of similarly looking domains and performs DNS queries for each of them (A, AAAA, NS and MX). For MX records it checks whether there is an active mail server which could intercept misdirected emails. Moreover it estimates webpage similarity based on fuzzy hashes. This functionality might be helpful in discovering typosquatters, phishing sites or otherwise fraudulent services and corporate espionage. This package will be team-maintained by the Debian Security Tools Team.
