Clone Detector

Clone Detector is a content detector tool that finds clone domains and phishing sites before they reach your customers. Brand protection scanner that fuzzes your domain into hundreds of permutations, then checks each one for registration, visual similarity, certificates and threat signals, returning scored reports in five formats.

Clone Detector is a brand protection service built around one core idea: attackers register lookalike domains long before they use them, so defenders should map that space first. You submit a domain, pick a scan depth (Quick, Standard, Deep or Complete) and the engine generates anywhere from 50 to 500+ permutations using 38 detection methods. Those methods include character addition and omission, transposition, vowel swaps, hyphenation, bitsquatting, homoglyph attacks using Cyrillic characters, and TLD manipulation. The output is a list of registered and unregistered variants, each scored for risk. The analysis goes beyond registration checks. Nine dimensions feed the risk score: visual similarity, domain intelligence, certificate transparency, WHOIS and DNS records, content inspection, brand markers, behavioural indicators and threat intelligence feeds. Visual matching runs six algorithms (SSDeep, pHash, wHash, aHash, SIFT and a colour histogram) against desktop and mobile screenshots, which matters when a clone uses different code but a near identical layout. Results come as reports in HTML, PDF, JSON, CSV or XML, with screenshots and recommendations included. The product suits brand owners, security teams, legal departments and compliance officers at small and mid sized companies that cannot justify enterprise brand monitoring contracts. Workflow is straightforward: submit a domain, watch the scan stages in real time, review the risk report, then either buy the unregistered variants defensively or hand evidence to counsel. Scheduled daily, weekly or monthly scans cover ongoing watch, and a RESTful API at 100 requests per minute lets security tooling trigger scans automatically. Compared with traditional trademark watch services, Clone Detector leans harder on automation and visual comparison and less on legal research. It is a detection layer, not a takedown service, so enforcement still sits with your team or lawyers.
