CAPEC 描述
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.
CAPEC 信息
执行流程
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.
技术手段
- 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.
技术手段
- Register the SoundSquatted domain.
3) Exploit
[Deceive user into visiting domain] Finally, the adversary needs to deceive a user into visiting the SoundSquatted domain.
技术手段
- 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.
前提条件
An adversary requires knowledge of popular or high traffic domains, that could be used to deceive potential targets.所需技能
Adversaries must be able to register DNS hostnames/URL’s.缓解措施
Authenticate all servers and perform redundant checks when using DNS hostnames.Purchase potential SoundSquatted domains and forward to legitimate domain.
