B-Phish: How Hackers Gain Someone’s Device Information Using a Link
The advancement in cybersecurity requires enterprises to develop both modern tools and innovative defensive approaches. Cybersecurity enthusiasts and ethical hackers persistently look for tools that simplify their work and generate strong outcomes. B-Phish is a tool I created to enhance reconnaissance and information-gathering processes. This article examines every aspect of B-Phish, its functionality, and its ethical framework for security professionals.
What is B-Phish?
B-Phish is a compact yet powerful tool that obtains essential target device information simply through URL access. It collects key data such as:
- User Agent: Identifies the target’s browser and operating system.
- Accept Language: Determines the target user's preferred language.
- IP Address: Reveals the target’s public IP address and potential geolocation.
- Referrer Information: Tracks the source that led the target to visit the URL.
Why I Built B-Phish
As an ethical hacker, I needed a tool that simplifies target URL analysis while offering essential features. Many existing tools are either too complex or lack critical functionality. B-Phish provides a user-friendly interface for efficiently gathering device information while maintaining a strong ethical framework.
