Squat Scorer is a python script that can be used to score typosquatted domains using the Virus Total API. This tool is meant to be used with dnstwister, a free online tool that will query DNS records for typosquatted domains.
Typosquatted domains can be used by adversaries to conduct phishing attacks and brand fraud against organizations. This script combines the power of dnstwister's typosquatted domain lookups with the intelligence of the Virus Total API to deliver additional context to typosquatted domain threats.
