CAPEC 描述
An adversary registers a domain name with at least one character different than a trusted domain. A TypoSquatting attack takes advantage of instances where a user mistypes a URL (e.g. www.goggle.com) or not does visually verify a URL before clicking on it (e.g. phishing attack). As a result, the user is directed to an adversary-controlled destination. TypoSquatting does not require an attack against the trusted domain or complicated reverse engineering.
CAPEC 資訊
執行流程
1) Explore
[Determine target website] The adversary first determines which website to impersonate, generally one that is trusted and receives a consistent amount of traffic.
技術
- Research popular or high traffic websites.
2) Experiment
[Impersonate trusted domain] In order to impersonate the trusted domain, the adversary needs to register the TypoSquatted URL.
技術
- Register the TypoSquatted domain.
3) Exploit
[Deceive user into visiting domain] Finally, the adversary needs to deceive a user into visiting the TypoSquatted domain.
技術
- Execute a phishing attack and send a user an e-mail convincing the user to click on a link leading the user to the TypoSquatted domain.
- Assume that a user will incorrectly type the legitimate URL, leading the user to the TypoSquatted domain.
前置條件
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.緩解措施
Authenticate all servers and perform redundant checks when using DNS hostnames.Purchase potential TypoSquatted domains and forward to legitimate domain.
