Understanding CamPhish: A Step-by-Step Guide

In the world of cybersecurity, tools like CamPhish are often discussed for their capabilities and potential misuse. CamPhish is a phishing tool designed to capture webcam images by tricking users into granting camera access via a fake video conferencing link. While it can be used for ethical purposes like penetration testing, it is crucial to emphasize that unauthorized use of such tools is illegal and unethical.

This blog will provide a step-by-step guide on how CamPhish works, including the commands needed to run it, and explain each command in detail. Please note that this guide is for educational purposes only. Always ensure you have explicit permission before using any such tool

What is CamPhish?

CamPhish is a tool that creates a fake video conferencing page (e.g., Google Meet, Zoom) and tricks the target into granting camera access. Once access is granted, the tool captures the target's webcam image. It is often used in phishing simulations or penetration testing to demonstrate the risks of social engineering attacks.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using CamPhish

Prerequisites

Before using CamPhish, ensure you have the following:

1. Kali Linux or any Linux-based operating system.

2. Python 3 installed.

3. Git installed to clone the CamPhish repository.

4. A Ngrok account (for generating a public URL to host the phishing page).

Step 1: Install CamPhish

1. Open your terminal and clone the CamPhish repository from GitHub:

   command 1-->> git clone https://github.com/techchipnet/CamPhish

   • Explanation: This command downloads the CamPhish tool from its GitHub repository to your local machine.

2. Navigate to the CamPhish directory:

   command 1-->> cd CamPhish

   • Explanation: This changes the working directory to the CamPhish folder where the tool's files are stored.

3. Make the camphish.sh script executable:

   
   

   command 1-->> chmod +x camphish.sh

   • Explanation: This command grants execute permissions to the camphish.sh script, allowing you to run it.

---

Step 2: Set Up Ngrok

1. Sign up for a free Ngrok account at https://ngrok.com/.

2. Download and install Ngrok on your system:

   command 1-->> sudo apt install ngrok

   • Explanation: This installs Ngrok, a tool that creates a secure tunnel to your localhost, allowing you to host the phishing page online.

3. Authenticate Ngrok using your authtoken:

   command 1-->> ngrok authtoken YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN

• Explanation: Replace YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN with the token provided by Ngrok. This links your Ngrok account to the installed Ngrok client.

•

Step 3: Run CamPhish

1. Start the CamPhish tool:

   command 1-->> ./camphish.sh

   • Explanation: This runs the CamPhish script, which will guide you through the setup process.

2. Select the phishing template:

   • CamPhish will display a list of fake video conferencing platforms (e.g., Google Meet, Zoom). Choose one by entering the corresponding number.

   • Explanation: This selects the phishing page template that will be shown to the target.

3. Start Ngrok to host the phishing page:

   • In a new terminal window, run:

     ngrok http 80

   • Explanation: This starts Ngrok and creates a public URL (e.g., https://abcd1234.ngrok.io) that points to your localhost on port 80.

4. Share the Ngrok URL with the target:

   • Send the Ngrok URL to the target via email, social media, or any other method.

   • Explanation: When the target clicks the link, they will see the fake video conferencing page.

---

Step 4: Capture the Webcam Image

1. Once the target grants camera access, CamPhish will capture their webcam image.

2. The captured image will be saved in the CamPhish directory.

   • Explanation: The tool saves the image locally, which you can view using any image viewer.

   •

Step 5: Stop the Tool

1. To stop CamPhish, press Ctrl + C in the terminal where the tool is running.

2. To stop Ngrok, press Ctrl + C in the Ngrok terminal window.

   • Explanation: This terminates the phishing page and stops the Ngrok tunnel.
