Hey Guys, Today I just wanna discuss about catch the phishing domains before it was targeted to your organization.In Cybersecurity Defenders prospective, Everyone wants to detect something malicious /weird before it exploited. So, I have seen/worked lot of pentesting engagements on different organizations. 70% cases are Red Teamers successfully exploits client machine through phishing only. In lot of companies /organizations/ enterprises are not concern about phishing threats on their employees.Bad guys/hackers are very smart. If they target specific organization, they will create phishing campaigns before sending phishing emails on specific organization employees. These Phishy websites looks legit website with SSL certs.As a part of Security Defense, If we monitor the SSL Certs of all of domains using CTL (Certificate Transparency Log) / CertStream. We can able to detect phishy websites related to your organization in very less time. If you want to implement this in your organization, I will give brief idea on how can we deploy and monitor & integrate with slack.Installation & Configuration ProcedureBasic Requirements

Linux VM (2GB-RAM/20GB-HDD)

Python - (Dependencies)

Slack API Access

Internet Access

Python Dependencies (pip install -r requirements.txt)

termcolor==1.1.0

certstream==1.8

entropy==0.10

tqdm==4.19.4

tld==0.7.9

python_Levenshtein==0.12.0

slackclient

domains.py

Create a folder “phishdomain_slack”
create domains.py & catch_phish.py
modify the keywords.

keywords = {

#Corporate/Organization/Enterprise_Domains

'paypal':80, #ex: google

'facebook':80, #ex: yahoo

}

#Top_20_top_level_domains // If you want add more

tlds = [

'.ga',

'.gq',

'.ml',

'.cf',

'.tk',

'.xyz',

'.pw',

'.cc',

'.club',

'.work',

'.top',

'.support',

'.bank',

'.info',

'.study',

'.party',

'.click',

'.country',

'.stream',

'.gdn',

'.mom',

'.xin',

'.kim',

'.men',

'.loan',

'.download',

'.racing',

'.online',

'.center',

'.ren',

'.gb',

'.win',

'.review',

'.vip',

'.party',

'.tech',

'.science',

'.business'

]

catch_phish.py

Put same keywords in list ‘l’.
Create slack workspace with email.
Create a new app and generate oauth key.
Configure channel id & username
