Description
A robust Phishing Framework with a full featured CLI interface. The project was born out necessity through of years of engagements with tools that just didn't do the job. Even though there are many projects out there, we were not able to find a suitable solution that gave us both easy of use and customizability.
Cartero is a modular project divided into commands that perform independent tasks (i.e. Mailer, Cloner, Listener, AdminConsole, etc...). In addition each sub-command has repeatable configuration options to configure and automate your work.
For example, if we wanted to clone gmail.com, we simply have to perform the following commands.
❯❯❯ ./cartero Cloner --url https://gmail.com --path /tmp --webserver gmail_com
❯❯❯ ./cartero Listener --webserver /tmp/gmail_com -p 80

Once we have a site up and running we can simply use the Mailer command to send templated emails to our victims:
❯❯❯ ./cartero Mailer --data victims.json --server gmail_com --subject "Internal Memo" --htmlbody email_html.html --attachment payload.pdf --from "John Doe <jdoe@company.com>"
Sending victim1@company.com
Sending victim2@company.com
Sending victim3@company.com

Mailer
THe main command and component in the Cartero Framework -- It allows Cartero to send custom templated emails to one or more email addresses.
Each email can be customized using the powerful erb Template engine, allowing users to create complex programmatic rules within the templates to send massive amounts of very targeted emails.
For more information on how to build custom templates, please refer to our Examples.

The Command can be used in two main ways. One using a raw command such as the one we get from Intercepting traffic with a web proxy (i.e. Burp Proxy) and or using the servers command available on Cartero.
#####Example of webmail server for send-mail.org
{
"name": "send-email",
"type": "webmail",
"options": {
"url": "http://send-email.org/send",
"method": "POST",
"cookies": "",
"headers": {
"Host": "send-email.org",
"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0",
"Accept": "application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01",
"Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.5",
"Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate",
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8",
"X-Requested-With": "XMLHttpRequest",
"Referer": "http://send-email.org/",
"Content-Length": "126",
"Connection": "keep-alive",
"Pragma": "no-cache"
}
},
"confirmation" : "Your message was sent!"
}
Using this pre-configured request, we can easily send message using the same datasets for Mailer and using the same type of templates. An example is available in /templates/mail/sample.web
#####Sample Command:
❯❯❯ ./cartero WebMailer -S webmail -D ~/sample.json -b ../templates/mail/sample.web -r cartero@gmail.com
The LinkedIn command is the first Social Network addition to the Cartero Framework. This plugin allows attackers to use the social platform to send messages and attack users all from within LinkedIn.
❯❯❯ ./cartero LinkedIn
Usage: Cartero LinkedIn [options]
-D, --data [DATA_FILE] File containing template data sets
-S, --server [SERVER_NAME] Sets Email server to use
-s, --subject [MESSAGE_SUBJECT] Sets LinkedIn Message subject
-b, --body [FILE_PATH] Sets LinkedIn Message Body
-l, --list [CONNECTIONS|GROUPS] List json of (connections or groups)
--send [MESSAGE|GROUP_UPDATE]
Send one or more (message/s or group/s updates)
-o, --save [FILE_PATH] Sets LinkedIn Message Body
Common options:
-h, --help Show this message
--list-options Show list of available options
The command requires a developer API and oauth key on the attackers profile. This can be easily obtained in https://www.linkedin.com/secure/developer. and a new server template can be created with the Server command.
IMessage
Allows Cartero, on OS X, to send iMessages to victims addresses just like emails, but these will show up on every iDevice they have registered with apple.
Background: After reading some news on how Chinese spammers are abusing the fact that iMessage messages will be displayed on all devices linked to the account/s, a quick command was developer to allow Cartero users to also have this feature available to the Framework.
Important: This will only work on OSX, for now
❯❯❯ ./cartero IMessage
Usage: Cartero IMessage [options]
IMPORTANT: This command only works on OSX
-D, --data [DATA_FILE] File containing template data sets
-A, --attachment [ATTACHMENT] Sets iMessage file path to send
-b, --body [BODY_FILE] Sets iMessage message
-m, --message [MESSAGE] Sets iMessage message
Common options:
-h, --help Show this message
--list-options Show list of available options
iMessage does not allow sending a single message containing both text and attachments, but when both are provided the message will be split and sent as two individual messages. #####Sample command
❯❯❯ ./cartero IMessage --data /Users/cartero/Desktop/test.json -b ../templates/mail/sample.imsg -a /Users/cartero/Downloads/jon.jpg

Mailer Templates
Emails are simple txt files or limited HTML files, depending on the format being used. Cartero allows complex templating through the erb ruby library and a CLI interface to help build and template both formats.
Files can be extensively customized for the campaign through erb which provides dynamic substitution and programmatic decisions at run time.
Another important feature is the encrypted self[:payload] that should be added in each email template which allows Cartero to identify the source entity regardless of multiple forwards or clicks. This small payload is encrypted using a randomly generated key allowing attackers to keep their source data secure and away from detection.
