## Delivering Emails in Inbox

- Method -1 : Using Email Service Providers
    - Use SendGrid - http://sendgrid.com/
        - useful service but honestly, You need Pro pain plan to be lucky not to be on a spamlist
    - MailGun - https://app.mailgun.com/
        - haven't had any problem
    - [Amazon AWS SES](https://aws.amazon.com/ses/)
    - Brevo : https://www.brevo.com/free-smtp-server/
    - Outlook
    - Gmail
    - Setup an Azure Tenant to get an [onmicrosoft.com](http://onmicrosoft.com) domain like [attackdomain.onmicrosoft.com](http://attackdomain.onmicrosoft.com/) which can be used for both email sending and phishing as domain
    - LarkSuite (allows custom domain) : [https://www.larksuite.com/](https://www.larksuite.com/hc/en-US/category/7199952056356995077-domain-management)
    - Zoho (Use the Zoho "Free for Life" email option) : https://www.zoho.com/mail/custom-domain-email.html
    - Yandex : https://360.yandex.com/business/domain-mail/
      
- Method - 2 : Random Techniques
    - Technique 1 : By Andre Rosario - From **BreakDev Red** Discord 
        - If you are having issues with delivering emails due to email filtering, consider using Microsoft 365 and Azure IPP to send encrypted emails to your targets!
            - Emails originate from legit Microsoft SMTP servers so they can't block it.
            - Targets who get the encrypted email are the only ones who can open it, if they forward it to their DFIR, they will have to login as that user to even see your message.
            - Easy orchestration in the Microsoft Admin portal of custom domains, create a ton of fake accounts.
            - M365 allows you to set arbitrary display names. So in a targets outlook the email can look like its from `admin@domain.com` but it's really from `admin@maliciousdomain.com` (Technical people can easily figure this out though)
            - Emails come from legit Microsoft IPs and domains, so you don't have to worry about domain categorization or lifespan since it's Microsoft.
              
    - Technique 2 : Using Azure External Invite functionality - From **BreakDev Red** Discord 
        - Azure External Invite can be used for sending an email with redirect link to phishing url
        - Bulk Emails can also be send, for reference check : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/external-id/tutorial-bulk-invite

- Random Tips to help getting emails in inbox.
    - Have domain with good reputation , Check domain categorization
    - Have a domain older than 1 year or use [expireddomain](https://expireddomains.net/)
    - Have valid DKIM, DMARC, and SPF.
        - Mailgoose (check whether their SPF, DMARC and DKIM configuration is set up correctly) : https://github.com/CERT-Polska/mailgoose
    - Add unsubscribe link in email
    - Send benign emails first (May help with reputation)
    - Have link in email with same domain which is being used to send email.

        ```markdown
        - Rewrite URLs on Phishing Pages to avoid detection through URL Path pattern matching (by Kuba).
        - Remove IOCs (X-Evilginx header and Default Cert Details)
        - Modify Unauth redirect static contents
        - Modify code to request wildcard certificates for root domain from Let'sEncrypt other than requesting for each subdomains (As mentioned in Kuba's blog) - Check this repo for reference https://github.com/ss23/evilginx2
        - Put evilginx behind a proxy to help against TLS fingerprinting (JA3 and JA3S)
        - Use cloudflare in between if possible/feasible (You have to configure the SSL Settings correctly, change it to Full in cloudflare settings)
        - Use some known ASN blacklist to avoid getting detected like here (https://github.com/aalex954/evilginx2-TTPs#ip-blacklist)
        - Reduce the Number of proxyhosts in phishlet if possible to reduce content loading time.
        - Host Evilginx at Azure and use their domain (limit proxy host in phishlet to 1 or find a way , may be create multiple azure sub domains and try with that)
        - Add some sub_filters to modify the content of the pages to avoid content based detections, like (Favicon, form title font or style, or anything which seems relevant)
        - Block the feedback/telemetry/logs/analytics subdomains using the phishlet sub_filters which can log the domain or may help later on analysis.
        - See if js-injected is static or dynamic , if static modify the evilginx js-inject code to create dynamic/obfuscated version of your js for each user/target.
        - Make sure to not leak your Evilginx infra IP, Check the DNS history to make sure its not stored anywhere (Analysts may look for older DNS Records of the domain)
        - Be aware of this research : https://catching-transparent-phish.github.io/catching_transparent_phish.pdf , repo - https://catching-transparent-phish.github.io/
        ```
        
    - Remove X-Evilginx header (Check all the code lines with req.Header.Set and comment relevant functions in core/http_proxy.go file)
      ```markdown
        // comment line 469
        req.Header.Set(p.getHomeDir(), o_host)
        
        //comment line 659
        req.Header.Set(p.getHomeDir(), o_host)
        
        // comment function at line 1791-1793
        func (p *HttpProxy) getHomeDir() string {
        	return strings.Replace(HOME_DIR, ".e", "X-E", 1)
        }
        
        // comment line 52-54
        const (
        	HOME_DIR = ".evilginx"
        )
        ```            
    - To Modify Unauth redirect static contents, Search for `<html>` in core/http_proxy.go file and modify the html code to remove any static signatures.
    - Also to avoid the static injected js code signature detection , You can modify the code as below
        - Make sure to add "[github.com/tdewolff/minify/js](http://github.com/tdewolff/minify/js)" in imports
            
            ```jsx
            	re := regexp.MustCompile(`(?i)(<\s*/body\s*>)`)
            	var d_inject string
            
            	if script != "" {
            		minifier := minify.New() // "github.com/tdewolff/minify/js"
            		minifier.AddFunc("text/javascript", js.Minify)
            		obfuscatedScript, err := minifier.String("text/javascript", script)
            		if err != nil {
            			// Handle error - Obfuscation failed
            			d_inject = "<script" + js_nonce + ">" + "function doNothing() {var x =0};" + script + "</script>\n${1}"
            		}
            		d_inject = "<script" + js_nonce + ">" + "function doNothing() {var x =0};" + obfuscatedScript + "</script>\n${1}"
            		//d_inject = "<script" + js_nonce + ">" + "function doNothing() {var x =0};" + script + "</script>\n${1}"
            
            	} else if src_url != "" {
            		d_inject = "<script" + js_nonce + " type=\"application/javascript\" src=\"" + src_url + "\"></script>\n${1}"
            	} else {
            		return body
            	} 
            ```
            
    - Modify core/cert.db file as well
    - Change `“rid”` for gophish.
    - Use nginx , caddy or other proxies infront of evilginx.
    - Use Redirectors
        - Use cloudflare turnstile as evilginx redirector and block bots.
            - https://github.com/kgretzky/evilginx2/blob/master/redirectors/turnstile/index.html
        - Obfuscate html/js based redirectors

        - Meta html tag for redirection
            - `<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=https://example.com">`
    - Change default lure url pattern which is random string of length 8.
      ```markdown
         // Line 728 in core/terminal.go file
				l := &Lure{
					Path:     "/" + GenRandomString(8),
					Phishlet: args[1],
				}
        ```     
    - Rewrite URLs on Phishing Pages to avoid detection through URL Path pattern matching (by Kuba). [This Feature not available in evilginx Public Version, You have to implement it yourself.]
        
        ```markdown
        # Only Work in Evilginx Pro Version
        # Similar functionality can be implemented in public version as well.
        rewrite_urls:
        
        trigger:
        domains: ['www.linkedin.com']
        paths: ['^/login$']
        rewrite:
        path: '/this/is/not/the/path/you/are/looking/for.php'
        query:
        
            {key:'a', value: 'HOW'}
            {key:'b', value: 'MUCH'}
            {key:'d', value: 'IS'}
            {key:'e', value: 'THE'}
            {key:'f', value: 'PHISH'}
            {key:'q', value: '{id}'}
        
        ```

## Securing GoPhish Infra

> These modifications will also work in the latest evilginx + gophish version i.e evilginx3.3
> 
- Tips : Use {{.URL}} parameter in phishing template while using with evilginx ( [https://github.com/kgretzky/evilginx2/issues/1042#issuecomment-2052073864](https://github.com/kgretzky/evilginx2/issues/1042#issuecomment-2052073864))
- Modifications in gophish source code and file structure to Secure the GoPhish Infra
    - Remove `X-Gophish` instances ( `X-Gophish-Contact` , `X-Gophish-Signature`)
    - Remove `const ServerName= "gophish"` and change it to `const ServerName= "IGNORE"` in file `config/config.go`
    - Change the default Admin server port in `config.json` file.
    - Modify Test Email Message Signatures, To avoid detection during SMTP Testing. `Controllers > api > util.go`
        
        ```yaml
        Controllers > api > util.go
        models > testdata > email_request.go
        models > testdata > email_request_test.go
        models > testdata > maillog.go
        models > testdata > maillog_test.go
        models > testdata > smtp_test.go
        ```
        
    - Change 404 response
        - Add below custom function in `controllers/phish.go` file
            
            ```go
            func customNotFound(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
            	http.Error(w, "Try again!", http.StatusNotFound)
            }
            ```
            
        - Now replace all instances of `http.NotFound(w, r)` to `customNotFound(w, r)`
    - Remove robots.txt hardcoded response and modify it in file `controllers/phish.go`
        - Modify the respective code in phish.go file to below one.
            
            ```go
            //Modified Response
            // RobotsHandler prevents search engines, etc. from indexing phishing materials
            func (ps *PhishingServer) RobotsHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
            	fmt.Fprintln(w, "User-agent: *\nDisallow: /*/*\nDisallow: /.git/*")
            }
            ```
            
    - Modify the `“rid”` GET Parameter in requests
        - Make sure to modify all the instances of `"rid"` to something else.
        - These are also present in evilginx3.3 source code , So make sure to modify there as well.
    - For advance preventions, You can modify the static folder as well and rename it to something else, also rename the files inside it to avoid path based detection. Just do not forget to modify the relevance source code as well.
        - Like images name , example : pixel.png , modify it to something else.
    - Change the Certificate Properties in `util/util.go` file
        
        ```go
        	template := x509.Certificate{
        		SerialNumber: serialNumber,
        		Subject: pkix.Name{
        			//Organization: []string{"Gophish"},
        			Organization: []string{"Microsoft Corporation"},
        		},
        ```
        
    - Use Nginx to proxy traffic through it to avoid any Golang Server Fingerprint
        - `service nginx start`
        - You need to change the gophish `config.json` to change the ports for http from 80 to 8080 and https from default to 60002, as shown below
            
            ```yaml
            {
            	"admin_server": {
            		"listen_url": "127.0.0.1:60002",
            		"use_tls": true,
            		"cert_path": "gophish_admin.crt",
            		"key_path": "gophish_admin.key",
            		"trusted_origins": []
            	},
            	"phish_server": {
            		"listen_url": "127.0.0.1:8080",
            		"use_tls": false,
            		"cert_path": "example.crt",
            		"key_path": "example.key"
            	},
            	"db_name": "sqlite3",
            	"db_path": "gophish.db",
            	"migrations_prefix": "db/db_",
            	"contact_address": "",
            	"logging": {
            		"filename": "",
            		"level": ""
            	}
            }
            ```
            
        - Below configuration will block all requests with user agent containing “Bot” or “bot”
            
            ```yaml

                    if ($http_user_agent ~* (bot|Bot)) {
                        return 403;

                }
            }
            
            ```
            
        - To allow specific user agent only, use below config. This will block all requests and only allow requests which has user agent “`iamdevil`”.

    - Modify Gophish Tracking Pixel signature to avoid detection based on signatured tracking pixel.
    - Change the gophish email headers sequence pattern. It may be used to detect the gophish (From BreakDev Red Community).
    - Setup PostFix infront of gophish to remove IOCs and other detection and spamyness of emails and also removed and fixes the headers.
