Phishim Save
Easy red team phishing with Puppeteer
Phishim - let the user log in for you
Phishim is a phishing tool which reduces configuration time and bypasses most types of MFA by running a chrome tab on the server that the user unknowingly interacts with.
What is different about Phishim?
Most phishing infrastructure works in one of two ways: either you create static HTML pages (manually or by grabbing them during setup), or you proxy traffic to the impersonated domain (possibly modifying contents on the fly).
Phishim works differently by proxying at the user interaction layer rather than the traffic layer, reducing the amount of configuration required. In particular, I no longer had to spend time removing troublesome JavaScript from my landing pages like I had to with GoPhish, and I no longer had to spend time configuring rewrite rules like I had to with Evilginx2. The tradeoff is that these other tools allow you to create much higher-fidelity impersonations than this approach.
Usage
First, install node and npm.
Then clone this repo and install dependencies:
$ git clone [email protected]:jackmichalak/phishim.git
$ cd phishim
$ npm install
You should now configure the variables at the top of src/index.ts. The first
string is where you are hosting your phish, and the others are how you interact
with the impersonated website. You may also want to add a favicon.ico file
at the root so that the correct favicon is displayed in the browser.
Once doing so you can start the server:
$ npm start
The phish interface by default runs on port 8080, and the admin interface runs on port 3333. Once a user has logged in on the phish interface, you can open up the admin interface to reconnect to their session and browse as them.
Demo
To run the demo, first clone the repo:
$ git clone [email protected]:jackmichalak/phishim.git
Start the demo server, which will run on port 3000:
$ cd phishim/demo
$ npm install
$ npm start
Start the phishim server
$ cd phishim
$ npm install
$ npm start
Go to localhost:8080 to view the phishim client and localhost:3333 to view the admin panel.
How it works
Phishim depends very heavily on Puppeteer. Puppeteer is a browser automation library which primarily focuses on testing automation, but it has also been used extensively for web scraping. Phishim spins up a Puppeteer browser for each user that visits the site. The server takes screenshots of the web page and sends them down to the client over a web socket connection for display, and the client sends up clicks and keyboard presses to the server to be played on the page. Once the user successfully logs in, they are redirected to the real website.
Limitations
Does not work for all types of MFA
While this approach has been tested for many of the most common MFA approaches such as SMS, authenticator apps, in-app notifications, and the like, any MFA approach which involves authenticating the URL in the browser will succeed in protecting the user. For example, WebAuthn uses a different key pair per website which would prevent Phishim from using the data received on the impersonated host.
Some websites are able to detect something phishy is going on
In my testing multiple websites determined that my login attempts were above-average risk and instituted higher-friction MFA techniques than would otherwise be used, for example requiring the user enter a two-digit number from the site into their mobile app, and one website outright blocked the login altogether even though I had valid credentials. I was able to work around some of these problems by modifying Phishim's behavior.
Requires the target to have a fast internet connection
The slower the internet connection between the server and the user, the more noticeable it is that this is not the real site. Login pages are often quite simple but delayed interactions can cause suspicion. As high internet speeds proliferate this will be less of a concern.
