Course Introduction3:06
Explore how social engineering and phishing work, and how the Stormbreaker toolkit enables ethical testing, defense, and security awareness.
Introduction to Strombreaker4:41
Stormbreaker is an open-source browser-based social engineering tool for ethical hacking. It enables web-based phishing pages and browser-based data capture, including camera, GPS, and screenshots, via Ngrok tunneling.
Legal and Ethical Use of Stormbeaker6:25
Learn the legal and ethical use of Stormbreaker for authorized phishing simulations in a controlled environment, with written permission and awareness of hacker types and laws.
System Requirements & Setup for Storm breaker10:04
Explore system requirements, dependencies, and a step-by-step setup to run stormbreaker for phishing on Linux, Ubuntu, or Termux, including ngrok tunneling and essential tools.

What is Fishing13:00
Learn how phishing and social engineering exploit human trust, as Stormbreaker enables educational simulations illustrating email phishing, spear phishing, whaling, smishing, and wishing.
Crafting a Realistic Phishing Page26:42
Explore how attackers craft phishing pages, cloning login pages with html, css, and javascript to harvest credentials, using Stormbreaker or Z Fisher. Learn to recognize attacks and defend ethically.
Email, SMS & Social Media Phishing Techniques9:33
Discover how attackers craft email, SMS (smishing), and social media phishing using Stormbreaker links; learn techniques, delivery methods, and defenses like link inspection and multi-factor authentication.

Accessing Device Camera (with Permission Prompt)14:53
Shows how attackers use the getUserMedia API to prompt camera access via social engineering, capture or send images with canvas, and how defenses rely on URL checks and permission controls.
Getting GPS Coodinates(Location Tracking)11:29
Explore how geolocation APIs reveal GPS coordinates with user consent, how attackers use location data and phishing stories for tracking, and defend with HTTPS, privacy settings, and cautious permission prompts.
