Typosquat Detective : a tiny game to train your eye Table of Contents In light of recent npm/Node.js supply-chain news, I am resurfacing a small game I built: Typosquat Detective. It’s a quick way to practice spotting look alike domains that phishers love. Play it here → https://typo.himanshuanand.com/

What you will practice (in ~2 minutes)⌗
- Numbers-for-letters like

1 ↔ l ,0 ↔ o ,5 ↔ s

• Unicode homoglyphs (Cyrillic/Greek letters that look Latin)

- Punycode tricks (
xn--...

style domains) How it works⌗

• You will see a domain. Decide Typosquatted or Real
• 10 quick rounds, bonus for streaks

Try it inline⌗
If your browser/theme blocks iframes, just use the link above

Why now?⌗ Supply chain incidents and domain look-alikes often go hand in hand. Training your eye to catch subtle domain tricks is a simple layer of defense for users, developers and maintainers are alike.
