Phishing kits are essentially pre-packaged sets of tools that enable cybercriminals to create and deploy phishing attacks with relative ease. These kits typically include everything from spoofed login pages to email templates designed to look like legitimate messages from trusted sources.

A phishing kit is a collection of software tools that makes it easier for people with little or no technical skills to launch a phishing exploit. Phishing is a type of internet scam in which the perpetrator sends out spoofed e-mails or text messages that appear to come from a legitimate source.

Phishing kits are archive files with a set of scripts that ensure a phishing website works. Simply put, it is a toolset used to build phishing websites in large numbers. Such kits allow scammers with basic programming skills to deploy hundreds of phishing pages, often using them as substitute for each other.
