By following this guide, I will show you the basics of making an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account, setting up your first EC2 instance, and configuring as well as logging into it via SSH. Then. you will install the GoPhish software and load it to start your first steps towards a successful phishing campaign!

Let’s get started.

First, you will want to go to https://aws.amazon.com and create an account. They will ask for a credit/debit card in the event you were to go over your EC2 instance usage. (However, with just one EC2 instance you will not have this problem.)

Once that step is done, you will be presented with a screen similar to the screenshot below:

From here you will choose “EC2” under the Compute section on the dashboard as highlighted below.

Once you have clicked on “EC2” under the compute section, you will be presented with a screen as seen below. Once you see this screen, click on the “Create Instance” button to start setting up your new EC2 Instance.
