Domain anomaly lookup tool
Why Choose This Project
In cybersecurity, detecting suspicious or malicious domains is crucial for preventing phishing, malware distribution, and other cyber attacks. Manual inspection of domains is time-consuming and prone to errors. This project provides a platform that analyzes domain names in real-time, identifies anomalies, and flags potentially malicious or spoofed domains. It is ideal for security analysts, IT teams, and enterprises to proactively prevent cyber threats.
What You Get
A web-based system where users can input domain names to check for anomalies. The system performs checks against known threat databases, evaluates domain patterns (e.g., typosquatting, homograph attacks), and provides detailed risk analysis. Administrators can monitor suspicious domains, generate reports, and receive real-time alerts.
Key Features
