Microsoft Strider URL Tracer with Typo-Patrol
v1.0.1.0, April 7, 2006
http://research.microsoft.com/URLTracer/

When a user visits a Web site, her browser may be instructed to visit other third-party domains without her knowledge. Some of these third-party domains raise security, privacy, and safety concerns. The Strider URL Tracer, available for download, is a tool that reveals these third-party domains, and it includes a Typo-Patrol feature that generates and scans sites that capitalize on inadvertent URL misspellings, a process known as typo-squatting. The tool also enables parents to block typo-squatting domains that serve adult ads on typos of children's Web sites.

System Requirements
- Requires IE6 and WinXP
- .NET Framework v2

We highly recommend running the scan from a virtual machine or a non-mission-critical machine.

IP addresses that host a large number of parked domains (April 8, 2006 data)
Run the Reverse-IP tool against these IP addresses to retrieve even more typo domains owned by the same typo-squatters.
