Episode 39: Email Analysis for Phishing and Spoofing
Phishing remains one of the most common and effective attack vectors—and analysts are often the last line of defense. In this episode, we walk through how to analyze suspicious emails, focusing on headers, sender behavior, and embedded links. You’ll learn how to interpret SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to verify sender legitimacy, and how to detect spoofed domains or manipulated display names.
We also explore common payloads delivered through phishing, including malicious macros, document exploits, and links to credential-harvesting sites. We discuss how users report phishing and how analysts validate, block, and escalate findings. If you're preparing for questions on email security—or just want to sharpen your real-world investigation skills—this episode will help you break down threats hiding in plain sight.
