Generating Phishing Links
When creating or generating phishing links, two complications need to be overcome.
Firstly, we need to ensure that phishing links look attractive to potential victims. To do this, we need to ensure there is some level of personalization. We want to ensure that the beginning of the link contains something familiar, perhaps a sub-domain that directly references the service or website being masqueraded.
Secondly, we need to ensure the phishing link doesn't get blocked by popular browser-based protection tools such as Google Safe Browsing, Microsoft SmartScreen, and much more. If a victim can't see the intended phishing page, then it's of no use. Phishing links need to use various evasion techniques such as randomisation, single-use detonation, and much more to evade browser-based protections.
