Talk:IDN homograph attack

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Suggestion

Nice article, one suggestion: the effect of "www.google.com" vs "www.googIe.com" depends on the font used to render the article; maybe we could create a pair of images to demonstrate this in a suitable font. — Matt Crypto 01:31, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merging articles

FWIW I support the proposal to merge the articles IDN homograph attack and Homograph spoofing attack. The overlap seems very significant. Matt 20:36, 6 December 2005 (UTC).

Second the motion. Each has its own strong points, both in content and in presentation. eritain 23:35, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] .ac TLD?

The article says

(TLD, for example, .ac or .museum)

I think ".ac" is not a good example of a ccTLD: Ascention island is a small dependency of St. Helena (British terr. in the South Atlantic) and almost all domain under .ac are sold to unrelated entities. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.48.171.17 (talk) 15:22, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

Firefox 2 seems (in its default configuration) to trust .org and .info IDN's, while distrusting .com and .net Would this be a more suitable example? Afilias provides a much less extensive list of available languages (and character sets) for these, which makes them a little more difficult to spoof. Not impossible (for instance, wíkipedia.org is not wikipedia.org) but a little more difficult. --66.102.80.212 (talk) 23:32, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
