Research update for HackTricks content

🤖 Agent Actions

I reviewed the existing page and related phishing pages in this section (including the homograph/homoglyph page) to avoid duplication, then researched up-to-date detection techniques and tools. I’ve updated the file with practical, actionable additions and minor corrections while keeping the HackTricks structure and style.

What I changed and added

• Fixed minor typos and clarified wording in “Finding suspicious domains.”
• Added an internal cross-reference to the homograph/homoglyph page to avoid duplicating IDN-specific content.
• New “Hunting by favicon and web fingerprints” section:
  • Shows how to compute mmh3 favicon hashes and pivot in Shodan/ZoomEye/Censys.
  • Includes a short Python snippet and operational notes about precision and validation.
• New “URL telemetry hunting (urlscan.io)” section:
  • Concrete search dorks and a curl example using the urlscan Search API.
  • Guidance on pivoting with TLS metadata (issuer, age) and CT-sourced hits. (docs.urlscan.io, api.urlscan.io, urlscan.io)
• New “Domain age via RDAP (scriptable)” section:
  • Ready-to-run curl+jq examples (Verisign .com/.net and rdap.net redirector).
  • Advice on prioritizing NRDs (<7d, <30d).
• New “TLS/JAx fingerprints to spot AiTM infrastructure” section:
  • Adds JA3/JA4/JA4S/JA4H enrichment guidance and cautions.
  • References observed Evilginx-related JA4 fingerprints as a weak signal (with caveats). (blog.apnic.net)
• Strengthened CT monitoring guidance with triage heuristics (NRDs, registrars, WHOIS privacy, NotBefore times).
• Added a heuristic note about file-extension TLDs (e.g., .zip/.mov) combined with NRD/keyword signals to improve precision.
• Preserved all existing valuable content and images.
• Added a “## References” section (kept minimal per instructions) with:
  • urlscan Search API reference.
  • APNIC JA4+ network fingerprinting blog. (docs.urlscan.io, blog.apnic.net)

The file has been updated directly in the repo:

• src/generic-methodologies-and-resources/phishing-methodology/detecting-phising.md

If you want further enhancements later, we could:

• Add a small script to generate dnstwist candidates, push them to a DNS sinkhole/watchlist, and schedule urlscan/CT/RDAP enrichment.
• Document a few vetted favicon hashes for common brand assets as examples (carefully maintained to avoid false positives).
