Phisherman: A Demo MFA App with Built-in Victim Backend

Jean-Francois Maes, a Red Team Operator and Certified SANS Instructor, has introduced Phisherman, a demo MFA app designed for educational purposes. This application includes a built-in victim backend and is hosted using a Docker setup that incorporates the front end, backend, and evilginx. Phisherman allows users to simulate phishing attacks on themselves by creating accounts and enrolling in MFA, providing a hands-on experience of what happens when a victim clicks on a phishing link.

The application will be open-sourced soon, used in the SANS SEC565 course, and featured in an upcoming webcast. This tool is particularly valuable for understanding the mechanics of phishing attacks and the importance of MFA in cybersecurity.

Practice Verified Codes and Commands

To set up a similar environment for educational purposes, you can use the following Docker commands:

<h1>Pull the latest Docker image for evilginx</h1>

docker pull evilginx/evilginx

<h1>Run the evilginx container</h1>

docker run -d --name evilginx -p 80:80 -p 443:443 evilginx/evilginx

<h1>Clone the Phisherman repository (once available)</h1>

git clone https://github.com/jeanfrancoismaes/phisherman.git

<h1>Navigate to the Phisherman directory</h1>

cd phisherman

<h1>Build the Docker image for Phisherman</h1>

docker build -t phisherman .

<h1>Run the Phisherman container</h1>

docker run -d --name phisherman -p 8080:8080 phisherman

What Undercode Say

Phisherman is an innovative tool that bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in cybersecurity. By allowing users to simulate phishing attacks, it provides a safe environment to understand the tactics used by attackers and the critical role of MFA in protecting sensitive information. The integration of Docker simplifies the setup process, making it accessible for educational institutions and cybersecurity professionals.

In addition to Phisherman, here are some essential Linux and Windows commands that can enhance your cybersecurity practices:

Linux Commands:

<h1>Check for open ports</h1>

netstat -tuln

<h1>Monitor network traffic</h1>

tcpdump -i eth0

<h1>Scan for vulnerabilities with Nmap</h1>

nmap -sV -O target_ip

<h1>Check for rootkits</h1>

chkrootkit

<h1>Secure SSH access</h1>

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Windows Commands:

<h1>Check open ports</h1>

netstat -an

<h1>Display IP configuration</h1>

ipconfig /all

<h1>Scan for vulnerabilities with PowerShell</h1>

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://target_ip"

<h1>Check for malware with Windows Defender</h1>

Start-MpScan -ScanType FullScan

<h1>Monitor network traffic</h1>

netsh trace start capture=yes
