## What it is
EvilURL is a Python CLI tool that generates Unicode (IDN) domain permutations used in homograph attacks, where look-alike characters trick users into visiting spoofed domains. It can also detect potential homograph domains, check their registration availability, test connectivity, and process domain lists in bulk.

## Use cases
- generate IDN homograph attack domains for a pentest
- detect lookalike unicode domains impersonating my brand
- check if spoofed versions of my domain are registered or available
- find domain permutations using confusable unicode characters
- test which homograph domains actually resolve and connect
- audit a list of domains for homograph spoofing risk

## When to choose
- you need to generate realistic homograph domain candidates during an authorized penetration test or red-team engagement
- you are doing brand protection and want to find registered or available look-alike domains
- you want a lightweight offline CLI that also checks domain availability and connectivity

## When to avoid
- you need continuous large-scale phishing detection or email gateway filtering rather than on-demand domain generation
- you require alerting, dashboards, or integration into a defensive monitoring pipeline
- you want a general-purpose domain name generator unrelated to spoofing or security testing
