Lab Preface, Takeaways
In Phishy v1, a malicious phishing link is presented, and threat intelligence must be performed to identify malicious site indicators. Actions taken in this lab is part of the standard responsibilities of a SOC analyst when investigating a malicious website. The malicious site can be analyzed live from the browser, or statically from the original phishing kit. Had the malicious actor fixed the variable names and not included the phishing kit package on the site, successful phishing attempts would have significantly increased.
While not available in this lab, Burp Suite is a web toolkit for analyzing application traffic and sending modified traffic. This tool can be used to discover more about a public facing application and for offensive security purposes. As part of a SOC analyst’s toolkit, this would assist with analysis outside of using the native web browser while utilizing additional community tools.
