About Check If Text Is Fake Tool

The "Check If Text Is Fake" tool is a powerful security utility designed to detect "homoglyph attacks" (also known as homograph attacks). These attacks use characters that look identical or very similar to standard Latin characters but come from different scripts (like Cyrillic, Greek, or mathematical symbols) to deceive users.

Common Detection Scenarios

  • Phishing Detection: Verifying if a URL like "paypal.com" actually contains standard Latin letters or deceptively similar Cyrillic ones.
  • Username Spoofing: Checking if a username uses invisible characters or look-alikes to impersonate an administrator or another user.
  • Plagiarism & Bypassing: Identifying text that has been modified with foreign characters to bypass plagiarism detectors or spam filters.

How it analyzes

The scanner inspects every character in your text against a database of known "confusables" and mixed-script patterns. It flags:

  • Homoglyphs: Characters that look like 'a', 'e', 'o', etc., but are not.
  • Invisible Characters: Zero-width spaces and joiners used to break keyword matching.
  • Mixed Scripts: Words containing a suspicious mix of Latin and non-Latin scripts.
