Evilginx

  • Evilginx 3.0 Man-in-the-middle attack framework used for phishing login credentials along with session cookies, which in turn allows to bypass 2-factor authentication protection.
    • This tool is a successor to Evilginx, released in 2017, which used a custom version of nginx HTTP server to provide man-in-the-middle functionality to act as a proxy between a browser and phished website.
    • Most existing tutorials are for version 2. Version 3 phishlets (i.e., YAML configuration files for targeting a specific site) are not fully compatible with version 2, hence some tutorial might not work with the new version.
