Microsoft research has released a new tool, URL Tracer, which reveals third party domains:
When a user visits a Web site, her browser may be instructed to visit other third-party domains without her knowledge. Some of these third-party domains raise security, privacy, and safety concerns. The Strider URL Tracer, available for download, is a tool that reveals these third-party domains, and it includes a Typo-Patrol feature that generates and scans sites that capitalize on inadvertent URL misspellings, a process known as typo-squatting.
The tool also enables parents to block typo-squatting domains that serve adult ads on typos of children’s Web sites.
For IE5 / IE6 Only. This version does not work with IE7+
