Editing a Data Entry Form in a phishing simulation
When building a phishing simulation, you may wish to record whether the targeted users are a potential risk to your organisation, and this can be done by submitting sensitive information via a Data Entry Form. (The MetaPhish tool comes with a wide variety of phishing email templates, some with associated forms.)
An easy way to edit one of the existing forms – or manipulate it to relate to the ‘Create Your Own Phish’ simulation you are building – is to copy the HTML source code of the prepopulated Data Entry Form.
In order to do so, follow the steps below.
- Firstly, decide which Data Entry Form you wish to copy; these will have to be previewed within the ‘Email Type: Phish Templates’ area, as the ‘Create Your Own Phish’ area does not contain these pre-designed forms. Only email templates with associated Data Entry Forms have the ‘Attach Form Data’ option ‘Yes’ available.
- Click on the 'Preview/Edit Form' button which will then open the Data Entry Form.
- You can simply edit the form within this Preview window if you wish to continue to use the associated phish template. However, if you wish to use this form for a custom template, click on the 'Source' button within the Editor toolbar.
- Select and copy all of the text within this area. (You may wish to copy and paste into Notepad.)
- Open the ‘Create Your Own Phish’ option, and continue to create your phish template as desired.
- When it comes to adding the Data Entry Form, select the 'Custom' option from those presented.
- Click on the 'Preview/Edit Form' button.
- This will open a blank Editor; select the 'Source' option from the Editor toolbar.
- Paste the Source text from the previous form.
- Select Save before closing this window to ensure the Data Entry Form is saved to the phishing simulation.
