A New Project

School has started once again, and with it comes time to start another project. I plan to work with Keathen on this project and we will be developing some tools for phishing emails. We do not yet have a title for this project. We plan to create software for one of the computer science professors that will be using this for an experiment later this year.
The first part of the project we will be developing tools to actually allow us to phish more easily. We plan on developing a tool that will allow us to replace all hrefs within an email so we can quickly make a “legitimate” email into a “legitimate-looking” phishing email. In addition we plan on creating a python web server, using the twisted framework. This is an event driven framework, that allows us to perform calls on variety of protocols, compared to just tcp. We hope to use this web server as a method for recording data and tracking user engagement with our emails. We plan on running this on a virtualized Ubuntu server running at the school. We plan to also write a program so that we can send out, and potentially spoof, emails. We hope to use this program with a csv full of email addresses. In addition we plan on saving information to this CSV and updating fields as time goes on with the web server.

For the second half of our project we plan on developing a program that can easily take the data we have saved to csv and received from the web server and put it into an easily readable form. This will allow any clients to easily access this data even if they don’t have an in depth understanding of the software used to generate and send the phishing emails. This is primarily useful  as we eventually plan to have this software used for an experiment.
