Subdomain take over with github?

I have a username on github "as my name is" and also a subdomain like otherusername.github.io and on this Subdomain github error pages there, so I search on google and found that the subdomain is vulnerable to subdomain take over, now the big question is How i claim on it?.

Is i create a repository on my profile with that name "otherusername.github.io? And that's all." If so then what do next?

I want to clear this doubt.

Solution

  • You would need to create a user page

    You will need to name this repository with the account name.

    • You must use the username.github.io naming scheme.
    • Content from the master branch will be used to build and publish your GitHub Pages site.

    That means you need an account with the right username (otherusername), and a repo named otherusername.github.io.
