Strider Typo-Patrol Project: “In the Strider Typo-Patrol project, we develop an automated scanning system for discovering and analyzing typo-squatting domains. We show that a large number of such domains are parked with domain parking services to take advantage of their effective contextual-ads infrastructures. We also show that, by analyzing the ads-fetching traffic sent from typo domains to parking services, we are able to identify major typo-squatters and domain parking services that are heavily involved in large-scale, systematic typo-squatting, as well as those that are serving adult ads harmful to minors on typos of children’s web sites”

MS is always working on something and its pretty interesting to check out their Research website. Just never know what you will find.
