Mô tả CAPEC

An adversary registers a domain name that sounds the same as a trusted domain, but has a different spelling. A SoundSquatting attack takes advantage of a user's confusion of the two words to direct Internet traffic to adversary-controlled destinations. SoundSquatting does not require an attack against the trusted domain or complicated reverse engineering.

Thông tin CAPEC

Luồng thực thi

1) Explore

[Determine target website] The adversary first determines which website to impersonate, generally one that is trusted, receives a consistent amount of traffic, and is a homophone.

Kỹ thuật
  • Research popular or high traffic websites which are also homophones.
2) Experiment

[Impersonate trusted domain] In order to impersonate the trusted domain, the adversary needs to register the SoundSquatted URL.

Kỹ thuật
  • Register the SoundSquatted domain.
3) Exploit

[Deceive user into visiting domain] Finally, the adversary needs to deceive a user into visiting the SoundSquatted domain.

Kỹ thuật
  • Execute a phishing attack and send a user an e-mail convincing the user to click on a link leading the user to the SoundSquatted domain.
  • Assume that a user will unintentionally use the homophone in the URL, leading the user to the SoundSquatted domain.

Điều kiện tiên quyết

An adversary requires knowledge of popular or high traffic domains, that could be used to deceive potential targets.

Kỹ năng cần thiết

Adversaries must be able to register DNS hostnames/URL’s.

Các biện pháp giảm thiểu

Authenticate all servers and perform redundant checks when using DNS hostnames.
Purchase potential SoundSquatted domains and forward to legitimate domain.
