Detection Methods
Weard uses multiple sophisticated algorithms to identify suspicious domains that could be targeting your brand.
Levenshtein Distance
Measures character-level similarity between domain names to detect minor modifications and typos.
Homograph Attacks
Detects visually similar characters from different alphabets used to impersonate legitimate domains.
Typosquatting
Identifies common typing mistakes including character omissions, duplications, swaps, and number substitutions.
Combosquatting
Detects domains that combine your brand with common prefixes or suffixes to appear legitimate.
Bitsquatting
Exploits single-bit memory errors to redirect traffic by detecting domains that are one bit different.
Hyphenation
Identifies domains that insert hyphens or dots into brand names to create deceptive variations.
TLD Squatting
Detects domains using incorrect Top-Level Domains to confuse users about legitimate brand websites.
Subdomain Squatting
Identifies malicious domains that use your brand name as a subdomain to appear legitimate.
Combined Detection Approach
We run all detection methods on every new domain. Each method assigns a score, and we combine them to determine the overall threat level. This multi-layered approach catches different types of attacks:
