Creating EmailSpoofTest.com
Introducing EmailSpoofTest.com:
Built and maintained by the security experts at Ignite Cyber, EmailSpoofTest.com stands as the only publicly available tool specifically designed to test email spoofing
vulnerabilities. While other solutions focus on generic "phish" tests or basic configuration checks for RFC compliance, EmailSpoofTest.com goes a step further. It simulates
real-world phishing attacks by sending carefully crafted fraudulent emails directly to your inbox, replicating the tactics employed by attackers. This unique approach provides
a reliable and targeted assessment of your email security posture.
Born out of Extensive Experience:
Ignite Cyber's extensive experience in penetration testing for government agencies and major enterprises revealed a critical gap in email security. Even with systems hardened
according to best practices, email configurations often failed to adequately protect user inboxes from fraudulent emails. This highlighted the dependence of email security on
several factors:
- The inherent functionality of email vendor controls (which may not always work as intended)
- Necessary DNS changes
- Email server updates and modifications
- Configuration of cloud environments
Given these variables, the need for daily testing of email security controls became readily apparent. Before EmailSpoofTest.com, pentesters and businesses lacked a reliable
solution to answer the critical question: "Do my email security controls effectively block fraudulent spoof emails?"
Before EmailSpoofTest.com:
Traditional email fraud testing relied heavily on open-source tools and involved extensive preparation and customization to build a dedicated test environment.
This approach often yielded unreliable results, hindering effective security testing. These challenges led to a widespread neglect of email security controls within the
cybersecurity industry, leaving organizations vulnerable to ransomware and malware attacks often initiated through email compromise.
A Global Solution:
Recognizing the global nature of this vulnerability, Ignite Cyber undertook the challenge of creating a tool that not only pinpoints weaknesses in email security controls but
also facilitates a safe and effective remediation process - all while being readily accessible to a broad audience.

The big picture of email security
In most successful business attacks, the initial hack to uncover details about the business, steal passwords, or defraud the business, is possible because of
misconfigurations within email security.
EmailSpoofTest.com is specifically designed to solve this problem.
Email attack surface management; emailSpoofTest.com enables organizations to quickly and privately assess, correct, and validate email security controls
that prevent email based attacks. By enabling validation and tuning of fraud controls, emailSpoofTest.com makes Email Attack Surface Management possible.

The details of email security
Web Surfing: When you enter a domain name into your broswer to get to a website, the browser asks DNS the location of the web server where the website is running. DNS servers
allow web browsers to find web sites.
Email Sending: Much like web surfing, the sending email server finds the receiving email server using an "MX Record" in DNS to find the location of the receiving email
server.
Fraud Checking Emails: When an email is received by an email server, it checks the sender email domain in DNS to be sure the sender is an "authorized" sender; by checking the sending domain's DNS for SPF,
DMARC, and DKIM. These DNS records tell the receiving email server which email senders are real and to reject or deliver the email accordingly.
If email security controls are configured correctly, fake email is rejected and valid email is delivered. Unfortunately for businesses, most email systems fail to do this properly.

The risks of poor email security
DNS can be seen by everyone; misconfigurations of DNS that cause security holes are used by cyber attackers to target their victims.
Email security products (AI/ML especially) often implemented to protect email users, heavily rely upon these DNS settings to make judgements on good or bad email.
SPF, DMARC, and DKIM are standard security controls in every email system designed to prevent scammers from emailing as your employees or partners with "BEC", Whaling", and
"Reply-chain" attacks.
EmailSpoofTest.com validates protection from these attacks
Most often, busineses find that these controls do not work as they are supposed to.
Misconfigured DNS is used by attackers to target easy victims.
***Email misconfigurations are often used by cyber insurance providers to deny coverage or deny claims.***

Why Email Security Matters?
Email remains a critical communication channel for businesses and individuals alike. Unfortunately, it's also a prime target for cybercriminals who employ email
spoofing to launch sophisticated attacks. Spoofing involves manipulating email headers to make them appear legitimate, often mimicking trusted sources like colleagues,
banks, or even government agencies.
The consequences of falling victim to a spoofing attack can be severe, leading to:
Data Breaches: Sensitive information like login credentials or financial data can be stolen.
Financial Losses: Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams, a common form of email spoofing, can result in significant financial losses.
Reputational Damage: Spoofed emails can damage your organization's reputation by eroding trust with customers and partners.
