DEF CON 25 Packet Hacking Village – Sam Erb – You're Going to Connect to the Wrong Domain Name

Can you tell the difference between gооgle.com and google.com? How about xn--ggle-55da.com and google.com? Both domain names are valid and show up in the Certificate Transparency log. This talk will be a fun and frustrating look at typosquatting, bitsquatting and IDN homoglyphs. This talk will cover the basics, show real-world examples and show how to use Certificate Transparency to track down particularly malicious impersonating domain names which have valid X.509 certificates.

    Interesting talk but this guy needs to make an effort to not say "uuuuh" every 5 seconds.
