## What it is
Phishery is an SSL-enabled HTTP server written in Go that harvests credentials via Basic Authentication prompts, plus a tool to inject phishing URLs into .docx Word document templates. It is designed for phishing awareness testing and red-team engagements.

## Use cases
- harvest credentials via basic auth prompts
- inject a phishing URL into a Word docx template
- run an SSL-enabled credential capture server
- simulate phishing attacks in security awareness training
- test how users respond to Word authentication dialogs

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight Go binary for basic-auth credential phishing simulations
- you want to weaponize docx template URLs for authorized red-team engagements
- you need cross-platform credential harvesting without heavy dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need modern phishing frameworks with email delivery and campaign tracking
- the project has not been updated since 2017 and may lack current features or fixes
- you lack authorization - using this against systems without consent is illegal
