How do phishing kits deploy lookalike domains at scale?

Phishing kits include domain generation and rotation capabilities. Attackers rapidly register many lookalike domains, deploy identical **phishing** content across all, and rotate to fresh domains as others are blocked.

Scale economics: cheap domain registration, automated deployment tools, and template-based content enable mass lookalike operations. A single campaign might use hundreds of domains over its lifetime.

Defense challenge: blocking individual domains can't keep pace with generation speed. Content-based detection (recognizing **phishing** page patterns) and URL reputation (identifying infrastructure patterns) provide more durable protection.
