• Installer-ready: fast compile to EXE file, as all hassles were tackled already. Just follow the guide.

Before you start:#

:warning: Verify that you have Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects component installed in Visual Studio. You can install it by going to Tools -> Get Tools and Features

:warning: Make sure you build the project's installer with the right TargetPlatform for your Office. If you have Office 32-bit installed, then compile the project as 32-bit. If you have Office 64-bit, then compile the project as 64-bit. You can do so by choosing Installer -> (from "Properties" menu) TargetPlatform -> x86 or x64

How-to Guide:#

Note: I used Visual Studio 2017 with .NET Framework 4.8 to compile it. The plugin was tested on Outlook 2019 (x64).

1. Download the project and extract it.
2. Double click PhishingReporter.sln to open the project using Visual Studio.
3. From the top menu, if it is on Debug mode, change configuration to Release.
4. In the right menu, Open Settings.settings and go to Settings Tab.
5. From there, change:
   • infosec_email: to your information security team.
   • gophish_url: GoPhish instance IP/URL, if you didn't host any, you can leave the default value. The plugin will still work.
   • gophish_listener_port: The port number of GoPhish listener.
   • support_email: Support email to auto-report any bugs. Should be for a teammate who maintains the plugin code.
6. Save the file.
7. Build the project. From the top menu Build → Build PhishingReporter.
8. In the right menu, Click Installer and change what you prefer on Properties Menu, I recommend to change:
   • Manufacturer, ManufacturerUrl, SupportPhone, SupportUrl
   • Generate a new UpgradeCode by clicking the ... button then New Code.
9. [Optional] If you want to change the installation wizard splash screen:
   • Open splash.psd file using Photoshop, and design the splash screen you like.
   • Export the design by overwriting splash.jpg file in the main project directory.
10. At the end, right-click Installer and choose Build.
11. The installer file should be located in PhishingReporter\Installer\Release folder.

Integration with GoPhish:#

This was tested with GoPhish v0.12.1 Windows version (download link)

1. Download GoPhish and modify phishing server listen_url in config.json file.

2. Run GoPhish server.

3. In the project source code, Open Settings.settings and go to Settings Tab.
4. Modify gophish_url and gophish_listener_port to match the values in Step #1.
5. Take note of gophish_custom_header

6. Build the project and compile the installer.
7. In GoPhish portal, while setting up the Sending Profile, add the custom header from Step #5 with the value {{.RId}} and click Save Profile.

8. Create a campaign and test the plugin's report feature.
