## What it is
Gophish is an open-source phishing framework for running phishing simulations and security awareness training. It provides a web UI and REST API for creating email templates, launching campaigns, and tracking opens, clicks, and credential submissions in real time.

## Use cases
- run a phishing awareness campaign against employees
- test how many users click phishing links
- simulate credential-harvesting pages for security training
- track email opens and clicks for a red team engagement
- automate phishing campaigns via the REST API
- import existing websites and emails as phishing templates

## When to choose
- you need authorized phishing simulations or security awareness training
- you want a self-hosted tool with a web UI and REST API
- you need cross-platform binaries or a Docker deployment
- you want real-time tracking of opens, clicks, and submissions

## When to avoid
- you intend to phish people without authorization - this is illegal
- you need a full penetration testing suite beyond email phishing
- you require commercial support or enterprise compliance features
