ail-typo-squatting

ail-typo-squatting is a Python library to generate list of potential typo squatting domains with domain name permutation engine to feed AIL and other systems.

The tool can be used as a stand-alone tool or to feed other systems.

If you don't want to use the Python library, https://typosquatting-finder.circl.lu/ is an online service which uses this library.

Requirements

  • Python 3.6+

  • inflect library

  • pyyaml

  • tldextract

  • dnspython

Installation

Source install

ail-typo-squatting can be install with poetry. If you don't have poetry installed, you can do the following curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -.

$ poetry install
$ poetry shell
$ cd ail-typo-squatting
$ python typo.py -h

pip installation

$ pip3 install ail-typo-squatting

Usage example

  1. Creation of variations for ail-project.org and circl.lu, using all algorithm.
dacru@dacru:~/git/ail-typo-squatting/bin$ python3 typo.py -dn ail-project.org circl.lu -a -o .
  1. Creation of variations for a file who contains domain name, using character omission - subdomain - hyphenation.
dacru@dacru:~/git/ail-typo-squatting/bin$ python3 typo.py -fdn domain.txt -co -sub -hyp -o . -fo yara
  1. Creation of variations for ail-project.org and circl.lu, using all algorithm and using dns resolution.
dacru@dacru:~/git/ail-typo-squatting/bin$ python3 typo.py -dn ail-project.org circl.lu -a -dnsr -o .
  1. Creation of variations for ail-project.org and give the algorithm that generate the variation (only for text format).
dacru@dacru:~/git/ail-typo-squatting/bin$ python3 typo.py -dn ail-project.org -a -o - -var

Used as a library

To run all algorithms

from ail_typo_squatting import runAll
import math

resultList = list()
domainList = ["google.com"]
formatoutput = "yara"
pathOutput = "."
for domain in domainList:
    resultList = runAll(
        domain=domain, 
        limit=math.inf, 
        formatoutput=formatoutput, 
        pathOutput=pathOutput, 
        verbose=False, 
        givevariations=False,
        keeporiginal=False
    )

    print(resultList)
    resultList = list()

To run specific algorithm

from ail_typo_squatting import formatOutput, omission, subdomain, addDash
import math

resultList = list()
domainList = ["google.com"]
limit = math.inf
formatoutput = "yara"
pathOutput = "."
for domain in domainList:
    resultList = omission(domain=domain, resultList=resultList, verbose=False, limit=limit, givevariations=False,  keeporiginal=False)

    resultList = subdomain(domain=domain, resultList=resultList, verbose=False, limit=limit, givevariations=False,  keeporiginal=False)

    resultList = addDash(domain=domain, resultList=resultList, verbose=False, limit=limit, givevariations=False,  keeporiginal=False)

    print(resultList)
    formatOutput(format=formatoutput, resultList=resultList, domain=domain, pathOutput=pathOutput, givevariations=False)

    resultList = list()

Sample output

There's 4 format possible for the output file:

  • text
  • yara
  • regex
  • sigma

For Text file, each line is a variation.

ail-project.org
il-project.org
al-project.org
ai-project.org
ailproject.org
ail-roject.org
ail-poject.org
ail-prject.org
ail-proect.org
ail-projct.org
ail-projet.org
ail-projec.org
aail-project.org
aiil-project.org
...

For Yara file, each rule is a variation.

rule ail-project_org {
    meta:
        domain = "ail-project.org"
    strings: 
        $s0 = "ail-project.org"
        $s1 = "il-project.org"
        $s2 = "al-project.org"
        $s3 = "ai-project.org"
        $s4 = "ailproject.org"
        $s5 = "ail-roject.org"
        $s6 = "ail-poject.org"
        $s7 = "ail-prject.org"
        $s8 = "ail-proect.org"
        $s9 = "ail-projct.org"
        $s10 = "ail-projet.org"
        $s11 = "ail-projec.org"
    condition:
         any of ($s*)
}

For Regex file, each variations is transform into regex and concatenate with other to do only one big regex.
