Using URLCRAZY on Kali Linux

Now we use this URLCRAZY tool for finding domain names variants. For an example we want to know about the similar domain of KuCoin. We can use following command to do so:

urlcrazy -r kucoin.com

In the following screenshot we can see the output of applied command:

We can see there are lots of domain variants of KuCoin. We can filter these domains by popularity on Google search engine. To Do so we can use -p flag, and the command will be urlcrazy -p -r kucoin.com

Something Extra

Here we can ask that is this beneficial ? Well, it is as a security expert we will know that if any similar domain exists there might have higher chance to be a phishing site. For an example here we got a special variant of KuCoin, which is highlighted in the following screenshot:

The highlighted domain variant is a phishing page of KuCoin. We had open that page, shown in the following screenshot:

This KuCoin domain variant is a Phishing Page

As a cybersecurity expert this is our duty to protect others from this kind of scam and phishing. These days bad guys uses many manipulative things for phishing and other cybercrime. So we need to be aware from same looking domain names.
