Combination of evilginx2 and GoPhish.

Credits

Before I begin, I would like to say that I am in no way bashing Kuba Gretzky and his work. I thank him personally for releasing evilginx2 to the public. In fact, without his work this work would not exist. I must also thank Jordan Wright for developing/maintaining the incredible GoPhish toolkit. The last thank you I must make is to Fotios Liatsis and Outpost24 for sharing their solution to combine these two frameworks.

Prerequisites

You should have a fundamental understanding of how to use GoPhish, evilginx2, and Apache2.

Disclaimer

I shall not be responsible or liable for any misuse or illegitimate use of this software. This software is only to be used in authorized penetration testing or red team engagements where the operator(s) has(ve) been given explicit written permission to carry out social engineering.

Why?

As a penetration tester or red teamer, you may have heard of evilginx2 as a proxy man-in-the-middle framework capable of bypassing two-factor/multi-factor authentication. This is enticing to us to say the least, but when trying to use it for social engineering engagements, there are some issues off the bat. I will highlight the two main problems that have been addressed with this project, although some other bugs have been fixed in this version which I will highlight later.

1. Lack of tracking - evilginx2 does not provide unique tracking statistics per victim (e.g. opened email, clicked link, etc.), this is problematic for clients who want/need/pay for these statistics when signing up for a social engineering engagement.
2. Session overwriting with NAT and proxying - evilginx2 bases a lot of logic off of remote IP address and will whitelist an IP for 10 minutes after the victim triggers a lure path. evilginx2 will then skip creating a new session for the IP address if it triggers the lure path again (if still in the 10 minute window). This presents issues for us if our victims are behind a firewall all sharing the same public IP address, as the same session within evilginx2 will continue to overwrite with multiple victim's data, leading to missed and lost data. This also presents an issue for our proxy setup, since localhost is the only IP address requesting evilginx2.

General Background

This project is based on this blog and I encourage you to read it before getting started. In this setup, GoPhish is used to send emails, track opened emails, and provide a dashboard for evilginx2 campaign statistics, but it is not used for any landing pages. To provide tracking between the two, the function resposible for providing campaign results inside GoPhish has been modified to instead get clicked link event details and submitted data event details from logs related to evilginx2. Your phishing link sent from GoPhish will point to an evilginx2 lure path and evilginx2 will be used for landing pages. This provides the ability to still bypass 2FA/MFA with evilginx2, without losing those precious stats. The operator will also be informed of a submitted data event in realtime. This should ensure the operator won't run out of time to use captured cookies, or at least be informed as soon as possible. The operator will still need to bounce over to the evilginx2 terminal to fetch the full JSON string of captured tokens/cookies.

Infrastructure Layout

• evilginx2 will listen locally on port 8443
• GoPhish will listen locally on port 8080
• Apache2 will listen on port 443 externally and proxy to either local GoPhish/evilginx2 depending on the subdomain name requested. Apache2 access log file is created for both GoPhish/evilginx2 servers
  • Requests will be filtered at Apache2 layer based on redirect rules and IP blacklist configuration
    • 404 functionality for unauthorized requests is still baked into GoPhish if a request hits the GoPhish server
    • Redirect functionality for unauthorized requests is still baked into evilginx2 if a request hits the evilginx2 server

Getting Setup

Assuming you have read the blog and understand how the setup works, setup.sh has been provided to automate the needed configurations for you. Once this script is run and you've fed it the right values, you should be ready to get started. Below is the setup help (note that certificate setup is based on letsencrypt filenames):

Usage:
./setup <root domain> <evilginx2 subdomain(s)> <gophish subdomain(s)> <redirect url>
 - root domain             - the root domain to be used for the campaign
 - evilginx2 subdomains    - a space separated list of evilginx2 subdomains, can be one if only one
 - gophish subdomains      - a space separated list of gophish subdomains, can be one if only one
 - redirect url            - URL to redirect unauthorized Apache requests
Example:
  ./setup.sh example.com "training login" "download www" https://redirect.com/

Redirect rules have been included to keep unwanted visitors from visiting the phishing server as well as an IP blacklist. The blacklist contains IP addresses/blocks owned by ProofPoint, Microsoft, TrendMicro, etc. Redirect rules will redirect known "bad" remote hostnames as well as User-Agent strings.

Once the setup script is run, the next steps are:

1. Make sure the Apache2 log file for evilginx2 exists before starting GoPhish (starting Apache2 will automatically do this)
2. Start GoPhish and configure email template (see note below about email opened tracking), email sending profile, fake landing page, and groups
3. Start evilginx2 and configure phishlet and lure
4. Launch campaign from GoPhish and make the landing URL your lure path for evilginx2 phishlet
5. PROFIT

Ensuring Email Opened Tracking

You CANNOT use the default Add Tracking Image button when creating your email template. You MUST include your own image tag that points at the GoPhish server with the tracking URL scheme. This is also explained/shown in the blog. For example, if your GoPhish subdomain is download.example.org, and your evilginx2 lure path is https://login.example.org/login, you would include the following tag in your email .html which will provide email opened tracking in GoPhish:

<img src="https://download.example.org/login/track?client_id={{.RId}}"/>

Important Notes

You MUST make sure Apache2 is logging to the file defined in gophish/config.json for the evilginx2 server, the default path is /var/log/apache2/access_evilginx2.log unless you change it. For example, if Apache2 is logging to /var/log/apache2/access_evilginx2.log.1 and you have /var/log/apache2/access_evilginx2.log defined in gophish/config.json, you will lose tracking statistics. All credentials ever captured by evilginx2 will log to ~/.evilginx/creds.json. If you use your server for multiple campaigns that may end up targeting the same victims, you will want to make a backup of it and then delete it to prevent previous credentials from logging into current campaigns.

Phishlets Surprise

Included in the evilginx2/phishlets folder are three custom phishlets not included in evilginx2.

1. O3652 - modified/updated version of the original o365 (stolen from Optiv blog)
2. google - updated from previous examples online
3. knowbe4 - custom (don't have access to an account for testing auth URL, works for single-factor campaigns, have not fully tested MFA)

Changes To evilginx2

1. All IP whitelisting functionality removed, new proxy session is established for every new visitor that triggers a lure path regardless of remote IP
2. Custom credential logging on submitted passwords to ~/.evilginx/creds.json
3. Fixed issue with phishlets not extracting credentials from JSON requests
4. Further "bad" headers have been removed from responses
5. Added logic to check if mime type was failed to be retrieved from responses
6. All X headers relating to evilginx2 have been removed throughout the code (to remove IOCs)

Changes to GoPhish

1. Custom logic inserted into GetCampaignResults function that handles evilginx2 tracking from Apache2 access log
2. Custom logging of events to JSON format in HandleEvent functions
3. Additional config parameter added for Apache2 log path
4. All X headers relating to GoPhish have been removed throughout the code (to remove IOCs)
5. Default server name has been changed to IGNORE
6. Custom 404 page functionality, place a .html file named 404.html in templates folder (example has been provided)
7. rid= is now client_id= in phishing URLs

Limitations

• All events will only be submitted once into GoPhish
• If you do multiple campaigns targeting the same victims without deleting ~/.evilginx/creds.json, credentials from a previous campaign will take presedence in GoPhish

Issues and Support

I am taking the same stance as Kuba Gretzky and will not help creating phishlets. There are plenty of examples of working phishlets and for you to create your own, if you open an issue for a phishlet it will be closed. I will also not consider issues with your Apache2, DNS, or certificate setup as legitimate issues and they will be closed. Please read the included blog for how to get setup properly. However, if you encounter a legitimate failure/error with the program, I will take the issue seriously.

Future Goals

• Microsoft Teams notifications to a channel upon submitted credentials (this will most likely happen, stay tuned!)
• Additions to IP blacklist and redirect rules

Contributing

I would like to see this project improve and grow over time. If you have improvement ideas, new redirect rules, new IP addresses/blocks to blacklist, or suggestions, please email me at: fin3ss3g0d@pm.me.
