Rock Phish Kit
In today’s world, organizations that conduct any business online are aware of the various threats that they may be subject to. While basic threats such as phishing attacks, worms and trojans are familiar terms for any IT or security professional, traditional methods associated with fraudulent activity have evolved to new and advanced levels of complexity.
The Rock Phish toolkit enables non-technical users to easily create and implement phishing attacks. The kit works by configuring a single Web server as a host, with multiple domain name servers (DNS es) to host a variety of templates, each one of which closely resembles a different legitimate bank or business venture. Attackers can then launch multiple phishing attacks from the host, fooling customers and clients into responding to the professional, legimate-looking email and entering their personal or financial data into the phisher's trap. Once harvested, credit card and banking information is channeled into a central server, the "Mother Ship," and sold through chat rooms to a dispersed network of money launderers that extract money from phishing victims' accounts.

Famous quotes containing the word rock:
“When we were at school we were taught to sing the songs of the Europeans. How many of us were taught the songs of the Wanyamwezi or of the Wahehe? Many of us have learnt to dance the rumba, or the cha cha, to rock and roll and to twist and even to dance the waltz and foxtrot. But how many of us can dance, or have even heard of the gombe sugu, the mangala, nyang’umumi, kiduo, or lele mama?”
—Julius K. Nyerere (b. 1922)
