conducting-spearphishing-simulation-campaign

conducting-spearphishing-simulation-campaign is a skill for Claude Code from 26zl/cybersec-toolkit. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,273 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to running an authorized simulation of targeted phishing attacks, where messages are tailored to specific people. It covers the email setup, messages, payloads, campaign execution, and result tracking.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan and run controlled spearphishing exercises for approved employees, then record and assess the outcomes.
Why use it?
It helps security teams measure how well people and existing controls recognize targeted deception. The results can show where training or technical protections need improvement.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

conducting-spearphishing-simulation-campaign scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/agent.py, scripts/process.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Conducting Spearphishing Simulation Campaign

Legal Notice: This skill is for authorized security testing and educational purposes only. Unauthorized use against systems you do not own or have written permission to test is illegal and may violate computer fraud laws.

Overview

Spearphishing simulation is a targeted social engineering attack vector used by red teams to gain initial access. Unlike broad phishing campaigns, spearphishing uses OSINT-derived intelligence to craft highly personalized messages targeting specific individuals. This skill covers developing pretexts, building payloads, setting up email infrastructure, executing the campaign, and tracking results.

When to Use

  • When conducting security assessments that involve conducting spearphishing simulation campaign
  • When following incident response procedures for related security events
  • When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
  • When validating security controls through hands-on testing

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with red teaming concepts and tools
  • Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
  • Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
  • Appropriate authorization for any testing activities

Objectives

  • Develop convincing pretexts tailored to specific target personnel
  • Create weaponized payloads that bypass email security controls
  • Set up email delivery infrastructure with proper SPF/DKIM/DMARC configuration
  • Execute phishing campaigns with real-time tracking and metrics
  • Document results for engagement reporting and security awareness improvement
