Step 1: Identify the suspicious domain

Look for signs such as unusual or misspelled domain names, suspicious emails or links, or websites requesting sensitive information.

For example, you may notice slight variations in the domain name, like "g00gle.com" instead of "google.com," which could indicate a phishing attempt.

Step 2: Open Who.is tool from ReportName Toolbox

Step 3: Perform a WHOIS lookup

Use tools like WHOIS databases to retrieve information about the domain's owner, registration date, and contact details.

This step helps you determine if the domain is legitimate or potentially malicious based on its registration history and ownership.

Step 4: Assess the Reputation of the Domain

Through practice and experience, you can refine this skill. Pay attention to notable aspects during your research.

Consider various indicators such as recent registration, trademarks and associated businesses, and potential connections uncovered in your investigation.

Step 5: Report Suspicious Activity

Notify relevant entities such as domain registrars, web hosting providers, or cybersecurity agencies about the suspicious domain, providing all gathered information for investigation.

Include detailed reports and evidence of malicious activity to expedite the investigation process and mitigate potential risks.

Step 6: Generate Report (Optional)

Ensure that you've selected the checkboxes next to the tools you've used in the ReportName Toolbox.
