Typo traps: analyzing traffic to exmaple.com (or is it example.com?)

This post analyzes traffic patterns to exmaple.com, a domain used to capture typosquatting and misconfiguration-related traffic. It details the volume, type (bot-dominated, mostly unencrypted HTTP), origin (specific ASNs like Bouygues Telecom, Google Cloud, Worldstream), and IP version (increasing IPv6 usage) of this traffic. The analysis reveals that much of this traffic is likely due to misconfigurations in routers or network settings intended for example.com, and highlights the financial cost of handling such unintentional traffic. It also touches upon the use of example.com for testing and educational purposes in network configurations.
