King Phisher is a phishing campaign toolkit for testing and promoting user awareness by simulating real-world phishing attacks, with control over emails and server content including credential harvesting landing pages. The project is explicitly no longer maintained.

Use cases

• run simulated phishing campaigns for security awareness training
• test employee susceptibility to phishing emails
• harvest credentials on fake landing pages during authorized pentests
• clone web pages for phishing simulations
• track and geolocate phishing campaign visitors
• send phishing emails with embedded images and calendar invites

When to choose

• you need a full-featured phishing simulation platform with a GUI client and server for authorized engagements
• you want credential harvesting, SPF checks, and campaign analytics in one tool
• you are okay using unmaintained software in an isolated lab

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained software with security patches
• you lack explicit written authorization from the target organization
• you want modern alternatives like GoPhish with ongoing support
