Segurança no WhatsApp messenger em um estudo de caso com ataque de phishing

Abstract

This work proposes to understand WhatsApp Messenger security with a case study with a phishing attack carried out from a simulation environment. So both home and corporate users have been attracted to social engineers with persuasion techniques. At first, an experimental research was carried out in which it was possible to observe and analyze that, in order to meet the initial expectations of the research, it is necessary to integrate several tools to achieve the result. In this project, topics on security fundamentals and its services are addressed, along with cryptographic tools and understanding how security works in WhatsApp Messenger. After portraying these issues, the simulation environment is shown along with the tools that integrate it to obtain the result that is the generation of links and automated sending through a message trigger. Subsequently, the lack of guidelines was discussed, the idea of conscious use by unsuspecting users who are exposed on the Internet.
