This is done by introducing Internationalized Domain Names (IDN). However, the visual similarity between different Unicode characters - called homoglyphs - is a potential security threat, as visually similar domain names are often used in phishing attacks. Timely detection of suspicious homograph domain names is an important step https://www.tide-project.nl/blog/unicode_homoglyphs/ Wed, 14 Aug 2019 09:55:56 +0200 https://www.tide-project.nl/blog/unicode_homoglyphs/ For the last couple of months Ramin Yazdani has been looking into phishing domains using Unicode characters to appear like the target domain. In this process he developed a new ‘confusables’ table of Unicode characters which can easily be mistaken for their ASCII counterpart. The table is based on the ‘Unicode Confusables list’ and the ‘Unicode Similarity List’. The proposed Unicode Confusables table can be found here. The dataset is supplied as a ‘csv’ file where the first column represents the
