Executing Vishing Campaigns
Overview
Plan and execute voice phishing campaigns to test employee resilience against phone-based social engineering.
Prerequisites
| Requirement | Install |
|---|---|
| VoIP platform | SIP infrastructure |
| Call recording | Authorized setup |
| Python 3.10+ | For agent tooling |
Key Concepts
Vishing uses phone calls to manipulate targets into revealing sensitive information. Campaigns require call scripts, caller ID management, recording, and metrics tracking.
Quick Reference
node agent.js prepare --campaign helpdesk-impersonation
node agent.js script --scenario password-reset --target IT-dept
node agent.js track --call-id C-001 --outcome success
node agent.js report --campaign helpdesk-impersonation
Workflow
- Define campaign scope and authorized targets
- Set up VoIP infrastructure
- Develop call scripts with branching logic
- Train operators
- Execute calls with tracking
- Record outcomes
- Analyze and report
Verification
- Verify VoIP works
- Confirm recording captures both sides
- Validate script branches
- Check metrics capture outcomes
- Verify report includes success rates
