/r/netsec is a community-curated aggregator of technical information security content. Our mission is to extract signal from the noise — to provide value to security practitioners, students, researchers, and hackers everywhere.
With the recent npm/Node.js supply chain incident (phished maintainer, 18 packages briefly shipping crypto-stealing code), I wanted to share a small project:
Typo squat Detective, a 2-3 minute browser game to practice spotting look-alike domains.
It covers:
• Numbers ↔ letters (1 ↔ l, 0 ↔ o)
• Unicode homoglyphs (Cyrillic/Greek lookalikes)
• Punycode (xn--
) tricks
Play it here: https://typo.himanshuanand.com/
Curious to hear which tricks fooled you and if you would like more levels/brands.
