Matej Lazarević: What is Typosquatting and what can we do about it?

# Summary
Typosquatting is an simple and effective attack vector that relies on intentional misspelling the URL or misusing the top-level domain, often with the goal of phishing the visitor. Those URLs can be found in spam emails and forums, received via messaging apps or manually misspelled in the address bar. Although being a simple idea, typosquatting goes hand-in-hand with (spear)phishing attacks that evolved and became more efficient and harder to detect. We will analyze some tools for discovering typo squatted websites and potential malicious domains that can target our organisation or product.

# Bio
Matej works as a Frontend Developer in Barrage. Besides the passion for frontend, he is interested in AppSec, often can be found poking around TryHackMe or in his room making lazy bash scripts that sometimes save 15 seconds of his life.
