King Phishger is no longer being maintained.

Installation

For instructions on how to install, please see the INSTALL.md file. After installing, for instructions on how to get started please see the wiki.

Overview

King Phisher is a tool for testing and promoting user awareness by simulating real world phishing attacks. It features an easy to use, yet very flexible architecture allowing full control over both emails and server content. King Phisher can be used to run campaigns ranging from simple awareness training to more complicated scenarios in which user aware content is served for harvesting credentials.

King Phisher is only to be used for legal applications when the explicit permission of the targeted organization has been obtained.

Get the latest stable version from the GitHub Releases Page or use git to checkout the project from source.

Feature Overview

Plugins

Both the client and server can be extended with functionality provided by plugins. A small number of plugins are packaged with King Phisher and additional ones are available in the Plugins repository.

Template Files

Template files for both messages and server pages can be found in the separate King Phisher Templates repository. Any contributions regarding templates should also be submitted via a pull request to the templates repository.

Documentation

Documentation for users of the application is provided on the project's wiki page. This includes steps to help new users get started with their first campaigns. Additional technical documentation intended for developers is kept separate as outlined in section below.
