description: 'Detect DNS and web requests to fake websites generated by the EvilGinx2
toolkit. These websites are designed to fool unwitting users who have clicked on
a malicious link in a phishing email. '
narrative: 'As most people know, these emails use fraudulent domains, [email scraping](https://www.cyberscoop.com/emotet-trojan-phishing-scraping-templates-cofense-geodo/),
familiar contact names inserted as senders, and other tactics to lure targets into
clicking a malicious link, opening an attachment with a [nefarious payload](https://www.cyberscoop.com/emotet-trojan-phishing-scraping-templates-cofense-geodo/),
or entering sensitive personal information that perpetrators may intercept. This
attack technique requires a relatively low level of skill and allows adversaries
to easily cast a wide net. Because phishing is a technique that relies on human
psychology, you will never be able to eliminate this vulnerability 100%. But you
can use automated detection to significantly reduce the risks.\
This Analytic Story focuses on detecting signs of MiTM attacks enabled by [EvilGinx2](https://github.com/kgretzky/evilginx2),
a toolkit that sets up a transparent proxy between the targeted site and the user.
In this way, the attacker is able to intercept credentials and two-factor identification
tokens. It employs a proxy template to allow a registered domain to impersonate
targeted sites, such as Linkedin, Amazon, Okta, Github, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit,
Office 365, and others. It can even register SSL certificates and camouflage them
via a URL shortener, making them difficult to detect. Searches in this story look
for signs of MiTM attacks enabled by EvilGinx2.'
