# Phishing Simulation Skill

## Purpose

Execute and analyze phishing simulation campaigns to assess organizational security awareness, identify high-risk users, and measure the effectiveness of security training programs.

## Capabilities

### Campaign Template Generation
- Create realistic phishing email templates
- Design landing pages for credential harvesting simulations
- Generate attachment-based simulation scenarios
- Create spear-phishing templates using OSINT
- Develop pretexting scenarios
- Build multi-stage attack simulations

### Campaign Execution
- Schedule and launch simulation campaigns
- Manage target user groups
- Configure sending parameters (timing, throttling)
- Handle bounce and delivery tracking
- Implement safe landing pages
- Manage campaign duration and scope

### User Response Tracking
- Track email open rates
- Monitor link click rates
- Record credential submission attempts
- Track attachment opens
- Measure response times
- Identify repeat offenders

### Awareness Reporting
- Generate campaign summary reports
- Create department-level breakdowns
- Produce trend analysis over time
- Compare against industry benchmarks
- Generate executive dashboards
- Export data for further analysis

### Risk User Identification
- Identify users who clicked links
- Flag users who submitted credentials
- Track repeat high-risk behavior
- Score user security awareness
- Prioritize users for additional training

### Training Recommendations
- Recommend targeted training modules
- Suggest remedial training assignments
- Track training completion rates
- Correlate training with behavior improvement
- Generate training effectiveness reports

## Simulation Types
