Step 4: Running Zphisher Locally on Localhost

Zphisher will now ask you to select a server to host the phishing page.

• Choose Localhost option 1 by selecting the corresponding option.

• Zphisher will start a local server and display a localhost link like this.This link will work only on your local network. To make it accessible globally, we will now set up port forwarding using Cloudflare. AS shown in the figure

it will show like this

http://127.0.0.1:8080

Step 5: Port Forwarding with Cloudflare

1. Create a Tunnel for Localhost:
   Once Zphisher is running on localhost, open a new Termux session (swipe left/right or use Ctrl + C shortcut). Run the following command to forward localhost traffic to the Cloudflare tunnel:

1. Install Cloudflare Tool in Termux:

pkg install cloudflared

cloudflared tunnel --url http://127.0.0.1:8080

1. Get the Phishing Link:
   Cloudflare will now provide a URL that looks something like this

https://phishsite.cloudflare-tunnel.com 

1. This is the phishing link you can use to simulate how phishing attacks work.

Step 6: Testing the Phishing Link

Share the Cloudflare phishing link generated in Step 5 (for testing purposes only) and check the credentials captured when someone visits the fake Instagram login page.

• When a user enters their credentials, Zphisher will capture them and display the information in Termux:

Step 7: Staying Safe from Phishing Attacks

It’s crucial to learn how to identify and avoid phishing attacks. Here are some important security tips:

Regularly update your software and apps to patch vulnerabilities.

Always check the URL before entering login credentials. Phishing URLs often look similar to real websites but may have extra characters or unusual domains.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to add an extra layer of security to your accounts.

Be cautious about links sent via email, text, or social media.

Use a Password Manager to create and store strong, unique passwords.
