Hacker dishes advanced phishing kit to hook clever staff in 10 mins
Michele Orru has released an automated phishing toolkit to help penetration testers better exploit businesses.
The well-known FortConsult hacker, better known as Antisnatchor (@antisnatchor), dropped the phishing kit at the Kiwicon hacking event in Wellington New Zealand last week, offering hackers tips to more successfully target businesses through the world's most popular attack vector.
Dubbed "PhishLulz", the Ruby-based toolkit builds on Orru's expertise in phishing. It spawns new Amazon EC2 cloud instances for each phishing campaign and combines a GUI from the PhishingFrenzy kit with the popular BeEF browser client-side attack framework for which he is a core developer. It also sports a self-signed certificate authority, additional new phishing templates for various scenarios a hacker may encounter, and will in the future be even more powerful with automatic domain registration, for now limited to registrar NameCheap.
