Super organized and flexible script for sending phishing campaigns.

## Features

- Sends to a single email
- Sends to lists of emails (text)
- Sends to lists emails with first, last name (csv)
- Supports attachments
- Splits emails in groups
- Delays sending emails between each group
- Support Tags to be placed and replaced in the message’s body
  - Add {{name}} tag into the HTML message to be replaced with name (used with --to CSV).
  - Add {{track-click}} tag to URL in the HTML message.
  - Add {{track-open}} tag into the HTML message.
  - Add {{num}} tag to be replaced with a random phone number.

- Supports individual profiles for different campaigns to avoid mistakes and confusion.
- Supports creating database for sent emails, each email with its unique hash (useful with [getCabrito](https://github.com/KINGSABRI/getCabrito))
- Supports dry test, to run the script against your profile without sending the email to test your campaign before the launch.

## Qs & As

### Why not use goPhish?

goPhish is a gerat choice too. But I prefer flexibility and simplicity at the same time. I used goPhish various times but at somepoint, I’m either find it overwhelming or inflexible.

Most of the time, I don’t need all these statistics, I just need a flixable way to prepare my phishing campaigns and send them. Each time I use goPhish I’ve to go and check the documentations about how to add a website, forward specific requests, etc. So I created [goCabrito](https://github.com/KINGSABRI/goCabrito) and [getCabrito](https://github.com/KINGSABRI/getCabrito).

getCabrito optionally generates unique URL for email tracking.

- Email Opening tracking: Tracking Pixel
- Email Clicking tracking

by generate a hash for each email and append it to the end of the URL or image URL and store these information along with other things that are useful for getCabrito to import and servering. **This feature is the only thing connects goCabrito with getCabrito script, so no panic!.**

### What’s with the “Cabrito” thing?

It’s just a name of once of my favorit resturants and the name was chosen by one of my team.

### How you really use it?

1. I create directory for each customer
2. Under the customer’s directory, I create a directory for each campaign. This sub directory contains

- The profile
- The To, CC & BCC lists in CSV format
- The message body in HTML format

1. I configure the profile and prepare my HTML
2. Execute the campaign profile in `dry` mode first (check the profile file `dry` value)

```auto
ruby goCabrito.rb -P CUSTOMER/3/camp3.json --dry

```

1. I remove the `--dry` switch and make sure the `dry` value is `false` in the config file
2. Send to a test email
3. Send to the real lists

## Troublesheooting

### SMTP authentication issues

Nowadays, many cloud-based email vendors block SMTP authentication by default (e.g. Office365, GSuite). This of course will cause an error. To solve this, here are some steps to help you enabling AMTP authentication on different vendors.

#### Enable SMTP Auth Office 365

To globally enabling SMTP Auth, use powershell.

- Support SSL For Linux/Nix (run pwsh as sudo required)

$ sudo pwsh

- Install PSWSMan

Install-Module -Name PSWSMan -Scope AllUsers Install-WSMan

- Install ExchangeOnline Module

Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement

- Load ExchangeOnline Module

Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement

- Connect to Office365 exchange using the main admin user, it will prompt you to enter credentials.

Connect-ExchangeOnline -InlineCredential

The above command will prompt you to enter Office365 admin’s credentials

```auto
  PowerShell credential request
  Enter your credentials.
  User: admin@domain.onmicrosoft.com
  Password for user admin@domain.onmicrosoft.com: **********

```

- Or us this to open web browser to enter your credentils incase of 2FA.

Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName [admin@pifsaudi.onmicrosoft.com](mailto:admin@pifsaudi.onmicrosoft.com)

- Enable SMTP AUTH Gloabally

Set-TransportConfig -SmtpClientAuthenticationDisabled $false

- To Enable for SMTP Auth for specific email

Set-CASMailbox -Identity [uuu@ccc.com](mailto:uuu@ccc.com) -SmtpClientAuthenticationDisabled $false Get-CASMailbox -Identity [uuu@ccc.com](mailto:uuu@ccc.com) | Format-List SmtpClientAuthenticationDisabled

- Confirm

Get-TransportConfig | Format-List SmtpClientAuthenticationDisabled

Then follow the following steps

1. Go to Asure portal ([https://aad.portal.azure.com/](https://aad.portal.azure.com/)) from admin panel ([https://admin.microsoft.com/](https://admin.microsoft.com/))
2. Select **All Services**
3. Select **Tenant Properties**
4. Click **Manage Security defaults**
5. Select **No** Under **Enable Security defaults**
