Domains serve as the foundation for hosting phishing simulation websites and landing pages, providing realistic URLs that recipients will interact with during campaigns. Proper domain configuration is essential for creating credible phishing scenarios that effectively test user awareness and provide valuable security training insights.
Configuration | Description |
---|---|
Domain Name | The fully qualified domain name used for phishing simulation hosting |
Website Hosting | Enables hosting of custom website content on the domain root for enhanced credibility |
Redirect Configuration | Configures automatic redirection to external URLs for legitimate business purposes |
Automated TLS | Automatic SSL/TLS certificate management through Let's Encrypt for secure connections |
Custom TLS | Manual SSL/TLS certificate management using organization-provided certificates |
Domain creation establishes the hosting foundation for your phishing simulation infrastructure. Proper configuration ensures realistic user experiences and maintains the credibility necessary for effective security awareness training campaigns.
Prerequisites: Before creating a domain, ensure that a DNS
A Record
is properly configured to point to your Phishing Club server's IP address. This DNS configuration
is essential for proper domain resolution and SSL certificate provisioning.
After successfully creating the domain, you can enhance its credibility by adding custom
website content and configuring custom 404 error pages through the Actions
menu. These
customizations help create more realistic phishing scenarios that effectively test user awareness.
The integrated content editor provides comprehensive tools for customizing domain websites and 404 error pages. This powerful interface enables creation of realistic web content that enhances the credibility of your phishing simulation environment and improves user engagement during security awareness training.
Feature | Description and Usage |
---|---|
File Import | Import existing HTML, CSS, or text content from external files for rapid content deployment |
Live Preview | Split-screen editor with real-time preview that automatically updates as you modify content, enabling instant visual feedback |
Template Variables | Insert dynamic content variables for personalization and campaign-specific information |
External Preview | Open content in a separate browser window for full-screen preview and testing across different devices |
Landing pages are the interactive components of your phishing simulations, designed to engage recipients and collect behavioral data for security awareness training. These pages are organized under campaign templates and can be configured for various stages of the user interaction journey.
Pages can serve multiple roles within your simulation workflow: Pre-Landing Pages
for initial engagement, Main Landing Pages
for primary interaction,
Post-Landing Pages
for education or redirection, and Deny Pages
for IP filtering scenarios in Enterprise
edition.
Landing page creation enables you to design interactive experiences that effectively test user security awareness while providing realistic simulation scenarios. Each page can be customized with dynamic content, personalization variables, and sophisticated interaction tracking.
Begin by providing a descriptive name that clearly identifies the page's purpose and role within your campaign template. Consider using naming conventions that reflect the page's function and target audience.

The asset management system provides comprehensive tools for uploading, organizing, and deploying multimedia content across your phishing simulation infrastructure. Assets include images, JavaScript files, CSS stylesheets, documents, and other resources that enhance the realism and functionality of your landing pages and websites.
Access global assets through Open Shared Assets
to manage resources available across
all domains and campaigns. These shared assets promote consistency and efficiency in content deployment.
Select specific domain names from the domains table to manage domain-specific assets that are only available within that particular domain's hosting environment.
The asset system implements intelligent priority resolution: when assets with identical paths
exist in both Shared Assets
and domain-specific collections, the system prioritizes
domain-specific assets first, falling back to global assets when domain-specific versions are unavailable.
This hierarchy enables both consistent global branding and domain-specific customization.
Asset upload functionality enables you to deploy multimedia content, scripts, stylesheets, and other resources to enhance the realism and functionality of your phishing simulation infrastructure. Proper asset management is crucial for creating credible simulation experiences that effectively test user security awareness.
Field | Purpose and Usage |
---|---|
Asset Name | Descriptive identifier for asset management and organization. Used for internal reference only, not for asset retrieval or URL generation. |
Description | Detailed information about the asset's purpose, usage context, or special considerations for team collaboration and maintenance. |
URL Path | Relative path from the domain root where the asset will be accessible. This path determines the asset's URL structure and accessibility from landing pages. |
File Upload | Select single or multiple files for upload. Bulk uploads automatically create individual asset entries for each file, streamlining large-scale deployments. |
