## typosquatting check (still work in progress)
**pips** has a feature of protection from [typosquatting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typosquatting) of package names.
It assists to an unprepared user to explore and install packages instantly, without wasting
time to figure out if a package name is spelled properly, or is it popular, genuine or malicious package.
This is being achieved by using the following algorithms:
1. Search for package name candidates using [Levenshtein distance and BK-tree](https://github.com/ptytb/BK-tree)
2. Sort and filter these candidates using the index built with following parameters:
- Number of connections with other packages using dependency graph
- Package's first release date
- Number of releases
- Average time interval before the next release
- Average number of downloads per release
3. Search through the index
- Search for reverse dependencies using *Adjacency matrix*
More details about how it works [here](). (TODO)
## how to refresh indexes
The file *known-packages-bktree.bin* contains all the package names from **PyPI** in the form of BK-tree.
```PowerShell
git clone https://github.com/ptytb/BK-tree
Import-Module .BK-tree\bktree
$bktree = [BKTree]::new()
$simple = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://pypi.python.org/simple/'
foreach ($link in $simple.Links) {
$bktree.add($link.innerText)
}
$bktree.SaveArrays('known-packages-bktree.bin')
```
