Frequently
Asked Questions... with answers!
What is emailSpoofTest.com and what is it used for?
EmailSpoofTest.com is
the only safe, easy, and private email self-penetration testing
platform with everything you need to test and validate the security
of any email system.
The concept:
is to send yourself phishing & fraud emails using all the possible
ways hackers can fake email; to test if an email system will drop
the fraud email or allow fraud email in. If you get any of the clearly marked test
emails, there are instructions inside with hints on how to correct
the configuration.
Why is there
a need for emailSpoofTest.com?
-
We found that
even the advanced and carefully configured email security
systems have security controls that are misconfigured or simply
do not work
-
Ransomware is
initialized by email fraud
-
Penetration tests
are complicated, expensive, and exposes flaws to a 3rd party

cost of course but we decided that the global ransomware problem was
important enough to get the word out first and then see who will
jump in and help.
