Ian Campbell<p>Hello friends, I've seen the below image come up a few times elsewhere and am going to expound a little! </p><p>While the hyperlinks in the image display correctly, those aren't actually the addresses of those sites! Instead, they're the Internationalized Domain Name replacements - examples of what are called IDN Homograph Attacks.</p><p>It's incredibly hard to include all characters from all active alphabets in the mechanisms that resolve domain names - so currently that letter set is restricted, and instead uses a translation system called Punycode to move between a visual URL with the correct characters and a domain name your computer can actually resolve to a website. </p><p>So while neurovagrant[.]com is fine either way, nӘ̃urovagrant[.]com isn't! The actually domain would be xn--nurovagrant-rkg322d[.]com.</p><p>Notice that xn-- ! That's what tells browsers and other software that it's an IDN domain, and to try and translate it.</p><p>Attackers use this to their benefit. So:</p><p>xn--mcrosoft-security-teams-1ec[.]com can appear in your email, on your twitter feed, in other places visually as: mícrosoft-security-teams[.]com</p><p>You may think you're signing in to check your retirement at vanguarɗ[.]com but it's actually sent you to xn--vanguar-4cd[.]com</p><p>A link that appears as vḙnmo[.]com actually sends you to the website xn--vnmo-q64a[.]com </p><p>They even target kids! Take a look at xn--rblox-jua[.]com - which looks like röblox[.]com in most settings. Note the diacritical mark above the first o.</p><p>If anything looks off, there's a reason. Always view links with skepticism, don't click on things unnecessarily, and always sign into the sites you use by going to the domain name you know. </p><p>Stay frosty out there, friends.</p><p><a href="https://masto.deoan.org/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cybersecurity</span></a> <a href="https://masto.deoan.org/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> <a href="https://masto.deoan.org/tags/StayFrosty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StayFrosty</span></a></p>
