## What it is
MaskPhish is a simple Bash script that masks phishing URLs under normal-looking URLs (e.g., google.com or facebook.com) as a proof of concept of 'URL Making Technology'. It is intended for educational purposes and can be integrated into phishing awareness tools with proper credits.

## Use cases
- mask a phishing url to look like google.com
- hide a phishing link under a trusted domain
- generate masked urls for social engineering awareness training
- demonstrate how attackers disguise malicious links
- integrate url masking into a phishing simulation tool
- learn how url masking works on kali linux or termux

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight bash-only url masking utility on Kali Linux, Ubuntu, or Termux
- you are demonstrating or studying social engineering link-disguise techniques
- you want a small proof-of-concept to integrate into an authorized phishing awareness test

## When to avoid
- you need a full phishing framework with server, templates, or credential capture - this only masks URLs
- you want a GUI or cross-platform Windows/macOS-native tool
- your use case is not authorized security education or testing - masking URLs for attacks is illegal
