The Basics of How to Create a Phishing Web Page
First I want to say we do not condone creating a phishing web page. In most cases, it is immoral and illegal. It is a breach of privacy. There are certain scenarios where creating a phishing web page can be justified. For example if you think your wife is cheating on you and you want to get her email account and password so you can see if she is getting or sending emails she shouldn't be.There are 4 elements of creating a phishing web page:
- Creating the web page that should look and behave EXACTLY like the web page you are trying imitate.
- Getting a domain name that looks as much as possible as the real domain name. For example, if you are trying to create a Yahoo mail phishing page, the real web address is https://mail.yahoo.com. You want to get a domain name that looks as close to this as possible such as https://mail.yahooo.com for example.
- Getting web hosting so you have a place on the internet where the files to your phishing web page will be hosted. DO NOT be a cheapo here and try to use a free web hosting service like Weebly or Wix for this because you will be MUCH less likely to get away with it because the domain or web address will not look at all like the real thing and it will be a lot tougher to make your phishing web page look and act like the real website.
- Getting the username and password sent to you so you can log in to the real account.
