What is Email Spoofing?

Email Spoofing is a technique that is used to trick users into thinking that they are receiving a genuine email from somebody they know like a friend or a trusted company like Apple, Google, etc.

Who uses Email Spoofing?

Email Spoofing is used by hackers and social engineers as a delivery method to deliver their viruses, and Trojans to victims.

It’s also used by spammers to send spam emails to trick users into clicking on the link, which redirects the users to either a phishing page or a scam store.

Email Spoofing bypasses the trust issue, which increases the likelihood of downloading the malicious file or clicking on a URL.

Note

Before you spoof your Email, you need to gather information about the person you are targeting. Information such as in which company the person works, friends, coworkers, and family members.

This helps you identify which Email should you spoof which increases the likelihood of opening your Email.

Video Goals:

1. What is Email Spoofing?
2. Why it’s used?
3. Create SMTP server
4. Send a Spoofed Email to the Inbox

Example

Let’s say you are targeting someone called John.

1. You use OSINT to gather publicly available information about this person, like friends, or the CEO of the company where John works.
2. Send John an email pretending to be his friend saying you have made a project and if he minds checking it out, OR send an email pretending to be the company’s CEO asking to visit a page or click on a URL.

• Sending an Email as an Authority figure like a CEO or the Bank, or ISP, increases the likelihood of clicking a URL.
