Isn't it possible to detect the mixture of cyrillic vs english and so on?
- userbinator 9y agoThis particular example was chosen such that the entire name was using the Cyrillic Unicode range: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_(Unicode_block) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_(Unicode_block) From that, you can see domains composed exclusively of those characters with are homoglyphic or nearly so with the ASCII equivalents would be susceptible to this: AaBCcEeFHhIiJjKMOoPpSsTXxY That's not all the letters, but there are plenty of domains in English which can be written to look the same with entirely Cyrillic.
- hughdbrown 9y agoWhen I generate all the English words that are in a UK dictionary that use the letters "acehijopsx" exclusively, and then test which are reachable domains, I come up with only about 500. Other than epic.com, the most significant ones are chase.com, sap.com, soap.com and sex.com, I think.
