The definition of Phishing according to the MITRE ATT&CK Framework: “Adversaries may send phishing messages to gain access to victim systems. All forms of phishing are electronically delivered social engineering. Phishing can be targeted, known as spearphishing. In spearphishing, a specific individual, company, or industry will be targeted by the adversary. More generally, adversaries can conduct non-targeted phishing, such as in mass malware spam campaigns.
Adversaries may send victims emails containing malicious attachments or links, typically to execute malicious code on victim systems. Phishing may also be conducted via third-party services, like social media platforms. Phishing may also involve social engineering techniques, such as posing as a trusted source.”
This was a fairly simple exercise. I wrote a few Phishing articles and was well aware of the points mentioned. The only learning I had was to use the following command to convert base64 to PDF.
cat input.txt | base64 -d > output.pdf
