October 24, 2016November 18, 2017 haxf4rall2017 king phisher, phishing campaign, simulating phishing attacks

King Phisher is a tool for testing and promoting user awareness by simulating real world phishing attacks. It features an easy to use, yet very flexible architecture allowing full control over both emails and server content. King Phisher can be used to run campaigns ranging from simple awareness training to more complicated scenarios in which user aware content is served for harvesting credentials.

King Phisher is only to be used for legal applications when the explicit permission of the targeted organization has been obtained.
