- YouKnowBetter 9y agoThe original idea has a better name: Bitsquatting[0] "Experiment To determine whether bit7errors can redirect connections to attacker controlled sites, the bitsquat domains in Table 3 were registered, and all HTTP requests to the domains were logged. The domains, such as li6e.com, mic2osoft.com, and fjcdn.net are very unlikely to be typos or keyboard errors."

- eru 9y agoThanks! That's brilliant.
- x0rz 9y agoYep, bitsquatting is also a very cool thing, first research on that topic was in 2011 IIRC :) Typosquatting = human error Bitsquatting = machine error (bitflip)
- brak1 9y agoISnt it more likely that it is just bots, that know your domain cos they have lists of every domain for that tld?
