Using phonetic algorithms to increase your search space and detect misspellings.

Recon Village @ DEF CON 2528th, 29th and 30th July 2017

Abstract

In this talk I will give a brief introduction to phonetic algorithms and how they can apply to gathering recon and searching through social media data. I will then demonstrate applying these techniques to a US Census dataset, and generate a searchable dataset capable of suggesting alternative spellings and pronunciations of names.
