Creating Templates
Gathering the Details
Begin by gathering the information relevant to your campaign
Name - Think of a name for your template. This will come in useful when identifying it in the future. Especially if this is a generic phishing campaign that will be reused (E.g.,Important Updates on Employee Dress Code)
Subject - Give the template a subject title. This should be something engaging that the end-user will want to click on.
Sender - Provide a name for the user or organization that the email is simulating. This could be something as simple as [COMPANY] to a specific user working at the company you're impersonathing e.g., [John Doe]
Building the Template
This may be the hardest part of your day. Creating a convincing pretext that will convince the target to click a link or download a document.
Thankfully there are several repositories available online with templates and pretext ideas that are ready to go:
The following details a template that I've used previously. The landing page was a link to the employee login where after credentials were entered where once I successfully landed a phish I could access the employee portal and attempt credential stuffing throughout the environment.
