DNSTwist

DNSTwist is a tool for detecting phishing domains that use subtle variations of a target domain name in order to deceive unsuspecting victims. The tool generates similar-looking domain names based on the target domain, checks if they have been registered and calculates their visual and HTML similarity to the target domain. This helps security researchers, administrators, and users identify potentially malicious domains that might be used in phishing attacks.
