A Lookalike domains stage in the Analysis group generates permutations of the target's registrable domain with dnstwist, resolves them with dnsx (a, aaaa, mx, ns, one retry of silent names) and keeps the registered ones. A name whose only answer is its TLD's wildcard address is dropped. Registered lookalikes are fetched and compared with the target's page (ssdeep), and the highest ranked are read over RDAP for registrar and creation date. Passive intensity skips the fetch. Each lookalike carries one verdict: linked to target, similar page, MX configured, parked, web content or registered. Linked is a redirect to the apex, non-shared nameservers in common with it, or a project target. Placeholder MX values and domain marketplace landers are not counted as mail or web content. Rows live in lookalike_domains per scan; review state lives in lookalike_triage per target and domain, so it carries across runs. The scan overview and the target page show a lookalike line beside the associated domains, the target page adds a cell, and a sheet lists the lookalikes with the changed characters marked, per-verdict filters, records per row and review actions. dnstwist and ppdeep join the tools package.
