Phishing Simulation Campaign

---

Problem Statement:
Phishing remains a top threat vector in organizations. Employees often fall for well-crafted phishing emails, leading to data breaches.

Solution:
By developing a Python-based phishing simulation tool to:

1. Generate fake phishing emails.
2. Track email interactions (opens, clicks).
3. Provide reporting and training recommendations.

I am able to solve this problem.

• Coding: Python for email generation and tracking.
• Social Engineering: Designing realistic phishing campaigns.
• Documentation: Awareness training guides and campaign results.

A. Phishing Email Generator

• Automated email creation with misleading but realistic content.

Code Snippet:

           import smtplib

           from email.mime.text import MIMEText

           def send_phishing_email(target_email):

                  msg = MIMEText("Click here to verify your account: https://mock-link.com")

                  msg['Subject'] = "Urgent: Account Verification Required"

                  msg['From'] = "admin@mockcompany.com"

                  msg['To'] = target_email

                  with smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587) as server:

                          server.starttls()

                          server.login("your_email", "your_password")

                          server.send_message(msg)

                   print("Phishing email sent.")

B. Tracking Module

• Tracked email clicks and interactions using tracking pixels.

• Campaign Results: Number of employees targeted, open rate, click rate.
• Recommendations: Awareness training strategies.
