New Tool Blocks Imposter Attacks Disguised as Safe Commands

www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu… A new open-source and cross-platform tool called Tirith can detect homoglyph attacks over command-line environments by analyzing URLs in typed commands and stopping their execution. The idea is to block deceptive attacks that rely on URLs containing symbols from different alphabets that appear identical or nearly identical to the user but are treated as different characters by the computer (homoglyph attacks).
