Novutec Typo Squatting

A domain name typo finder to determine typos of a domain name.

We also provide international keyboard layouts for English, Spanish, Italian, German and more, so you can determine the typos by your language.

At first it creates domain names by an algorithm to determine by each character of the domain name the nearby characters on the keyboard. Afterwards it creates domain names by skipping characters and then it will switch the caracters of the given domain name. Then it will create domain names by another algorithm to determine simultaneously hitted keys. At least we are adding the prefix www and www- to the domain name and estimate similiar characters by a language based mapping.

Usage

Include Typo.php

require_once 'DomainParser/Parser.php';
require_once 'TypoSquatting/Typo.php';

Create Typo() object

$Typo = new Novutec\TypoSquatting\Typo();

Call lookup() method

$result = $Typo->lookup($domain);

If you don't want to use all filters you may call the respective method to deactivate it

$Typo->setSwitchingLetters(false);

You may choose different keyboard layouts, to do so you may call the respective method. e.g. en, de, es, fr, it and nl.

$Typo->setLayout('es');

You may choose 5 different return types. the types are array, object, json, serialize and xml. By default it is object. If you want to change that call the format method before calling the lookup method or provide it to the constructer. If you are not using object and an error occurs, then exceptions will not be trapped within the response and thrown directy.

$Typo->setFormat('json');
$Typo = new Novutec\TypoSquatting\Typo('json');
