AntiScamBOT Domain Age Detection Released
Summary
AntiScamBOT announces Domain Age Detection using RDAP lookups and tldextract to identify registered domains from shared URLs. The feature scores domains by age (0–7 days +5 to 61+ days +1) and is aggressively cached. Servers can enable/disable checks, choose Flag only or Delete + Flag, and set thresholds via /setupbot or /antiscam-settings to curb early phishing campaigns.
AntiScamBot Update — Domain Age Detection
New Feature: Newly Registered Domain Detection
Scammers often register fresh domains for phishing campaigns. We now check domain registration dates via RDAP lookups to catch these early.
How it works:
- Extracts domains from URLs shared in messages
- Checks registration date against public RDAP records
- Uses tldextract to identify the registered domain (ignores subdomains)
- Aggressively cached results to minimize lookups
Scoring (age-based):
- 🔴 0–7 days: +5 score
- 🟠 8–14 days: +4 score
- 🟠 15–30 days: +3 score
- 🟡 31–60 days: +2 score
- 🟢 61+ days: +1 score (up to threshold)
Server Configuration:
Each server decides how to handle newly registered domains:
- Enable/disable domain age checks per server
- Action choice: Flag only (alert mods) or Delete + Flag (remove message + alert)
- Custom threshold: Pick from 7, 14, 30, 60, or 90 days
- Configurable via /setupbot command or /antiscam-settings panel
