Gophish on Digital Ocean with Blacklist Range

Gophish is a powerful, easy-to-use, open-source phishing toolkit meant to help pentesters and businesses conduct real-world phishing simulations. This user guide introduces Gophish and shows how to use the software, building a complete campaign from start to finish.

the usage of gophish and very neat installation procedures inspired by note post on ired.team blog . so i will get brief installation of gophish with postfix server first then . bypass Digital ocean public IP address blacklisted .

installation of postfix server

apt-get install postfix

configuration of postfix

then you have to modify the following value as your own digital ocean droplet

 nano /etc/postfix/main.cf

myhostname = {SMTP SERVER }
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
mydestination = $myhostname, ubt, ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-fra1-01, localhost.localdomain, localhost
relayhost =
mynetworks={PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS}

after saving these information , you have to reload postfix configuration

service postfix reload

from your terminal , execute the following commands

wget https://github.com/gophish/gophish/releases/download/0.7.1/gophish-v0.7.1-linux-64bit.zip apt install unzip
unzip gophish-v0.7.1-linux-64bit.zip
chmod +x gophish

after installation is finished , run it ./gophish

## Access GoPhish by SSH tunneling

gophish in default is running on local interface with port 3333 , so we have to start ssh tunneling to access it
ssh root@ipofdroplet -L3333:localhost:3333 -N -f

access it `https:\\localhost:3333`

installation of Free SSL Certification for Postfix or Gophish

apt install certbot

generate ssl certification

certbot certonly --standalone -d mail.phish.com

the paths of certifications comes as following examples
/etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.phish.com/

to activate ssl on **postfix** you have to edit `main.cf` as 

smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.phish.com/fullchain.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.phish.com/privkey.pem

in case want to activate ssl certification on Gophish , edit config.json and replace it with correct path

"admin_server": {
"listen_url": "127.0.0.1:3333",
"use_tls": true,
"cert_path": "gophish_admin.crt",
"key_path": "gophish_admin.key"
},
"phish_server": {
"listen_url": "0.0.0.0:80",
"use_tls": false,
"cert_path": "example.crt",
"key_path": "example.key"

Bypass Blocked Public IP While sending through SMTP

access your droplet via ssh then execute the following command first

 curl -s 169.254.169.254/metadata/v1/interfaces/public/0/anchor_ipv4/gateway

then copy the ip address from output and execute the following

route add default gw {IP}
route del default gw

to validate execute the following from box cli

curl icanhazip.com
