This project was completed as part of the Future Interns Cyber Security Internship (Task 02).
The objective of this project is to analyze phishing email samples, identify phishing indicators, classify email risks, and create a security awareness report that helps users recognize and prevent phishing attacks.
This project focuses on security awareness and email analysis only. No offensive security techniques or malicious activities were performed.
- Analyze phishing email samples.
- Identify phishing indicators.
- Classify emails as Safe, Suspicious, or Phishing.
- Understand common social engineering techniques.
- Promote phishing awareness and cybersecurity best practices.
The project includes:
- Email sender verification
- Subject line analysis
- URL inspection
- Attachment analysis
- Phishing indicator identification
- Risk classification
- Security awareness recommendations
The project does not include:
- Clicking malicious links
- Executing suspicious attachments
- Exploiting systems
- Offensive security activities
- Kali Linux
- Visual Studio Code
- Git
- GitHub
- Browser Developer Tools
- Google Message Header Analyzer (Reference)
- MXToolbox Email Header Analyzer (Reference)
| Classification | Count |
|---|---|
| 🟢 Safe | 2 |
| 🟡 Suspicious | 1 |
| 🔴 Phishing | 2 |
The phishing email analysis identified several common attack techniques, including:
- Fake sender domains
- Generic greetings
- Urgency and fear-based language
- Credential harvesting attempts
- Malicious attachments
- Look-alike domains (Typosquatting)
These indicators demonstrate how attackers manipulate users through social engineering techniques.

To reduce phishing risks:
- Verify sender domains before responding.
- Hover over links before clicking.
- Never share passwords or OTPs via email.
- Avoid opening unexpected attachments.
- Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
- Report suspicious emails immediately.
