CLASSIFIED OPERATION: PHISHING CAMPAIGN DECONSTRUCTION & IOC EXTRACTION
STATUS: CONCLUDED | AUTHOR: MR. CIPHER-X [C|THE]
This repository details the comprehensive forensic analysis of a targeted phishing campaign. The operation involved extracting raw email headers, tracing spoofed sender origins, sandboxing malicious payloads, and identifying credential-harvesting infrastructure to develop actionable threat intelligence.

| Threat Vector | Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) | Analysis Technique | Tactical Mitigation / Response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sender Spoofing | Forged Return-Path & failed DMARC |
Email Header Inspection | Block source IP at Secure Email Gateway (SEG). |
| Credential Harvester | Obfuscated URL directing to fake login | OSINT & URL Defanging | Blacklist domain & update proxy filtering rules. |
| Weaponized Payload | Malicious .pdf or .docx attachment |
Sandbox Execution (e.g., Any.Run) | Extract SHA-256 hash, update EDR definitions. |
(Note: PII and sensitive target data have been redacted. The following evidence represents extracted threat intelligence.)
