   * **STEP 0 Trojan compilation**: Via the Web GUI you will be able to define the settings of the trojan simulation (e.g. what the file should look like & do upon execution). The trojan simulation can be either an executable (which gets compiled during the campaign), some payload which you upload to LUCY yourself or some [[create_a_phishing_campaign_with_a_word_macro|Office file that contains a Macro]].   * **STEP 0 Trojan compilation**: Via the Web GUI you will be able to define the settings of the trojan simulation (e.g. what the file should look like & do upon execution).

   * **STEP 2 Execution**: By using a phishing mail which can be edited on LUCY you can try to lure the recipient into opening the Trojan simulation. Once the Malware Simulation is executed on a Windows Client, you can see the file in the Task Manager as "file.exe". LUCY has some command restrictions to prevent LUCY administrators from damaging the client's system, therefore not all shell commands are allowed.   * **STEP 2 Execution**: By using a phishing mail which can be edited on LUCY you can try to lure the recipient into opening the Trojan simulation.

-  * **Consolepost**: Execute your commands within the Windows shell and send back the output to LUCY. This tool allows you to use a limited set of commands. Some commands in Windows are not executable. They are built into the command line (Example of command with executable: whoami).  If you need to use a command which is a built in command line, then you should call cmd directly (example for requesting the directory content: "cmd /c dir"). Here a [[commands_that_can_be_executed_in_file_based_malware_simulations|list of possible commands]].+  * **Consolepost**: Execute your commands within the Windows shell and send back the output to LUCY.

-**STEP 6 - Configure the Base Settings of Your Campaign** Once you have selected the scenario, you need to configure the **Base Settings** of the campaign. First give your campaign a name and then choose how your recipients will be able to access LUCY by defining the [[domain_configuration|Domain]]. Finding the appropriate domain name is a very important step for the success and it depends very much on your campaign scenario. If you plan to create a fake web mail login you might try to reserve a domain like "webmail-server365.com" and point it to LUCY.\\+**STEP 6 - Configure the Base Settings of Your Campaign** Once you have selected the scenario, you need to configure the **Base Settings** of the campaign.

The Landing Page is the webpage that the users will see when they click on the link in the email they receive. First select the drop-down menu at the top the page where you want to edit. Please note that the same landing page may be available in different languages. So make sure you [[dealing_with_multiple_languages_in_your_recipient_group|edit the correct language]]. When you choose a file based attack scenario you will see some additional configuration options appearing at the bottom of the page. Those settings define what file is provided within the download button for the recipient and what the executable should do upon opening. We recommend starting with a "harmless", non-intrusive trojan simulation that doesn't violate the recipients data privacy. A harmless simulation is for example the ConsolePost" Trojan, which will stealthy execute a few pre-defined commands (like "whoami") in the users shell and send the output back to LUCY.

-**STEP 9 - Configure Message Settings (Email):**  It’s time to setup email communication (if you want you can also use [[smishing|SMS]] as an alternative). Choose your sender's name, email address and subject. Please also choose the language for each group. If you configured an English landing page, then select English also within that recipient group. If you have different groups with different languages within your company you can simply create a group and select a language for each recipient. LUCY then will direct each user to an individual landing page that [[dealing_with_multiple_languages_in_your_recipient_group|matches that language]]. Please read the [[Mail_Settings|Mail Settings Chapter]] for more configuration options.+**STEP 9 - Configure Message Settings (Email):**  It’s time to setup email communication (if you want you can also use [[smishing|SMS]] as an alternative).

 **Note**: The current edition of LUCY will include tools that access files on shares and upload them to the campaign or access the email client via MAPI. These features have restricted configuration options in the community edition (like maximum number of files that can be uploaded, etc.) the same goes for the number of screenshots or length of videos. Only the Commercial Editions have no limitations. You can upload your own custom payload. But keep in mind that reverse channels to LUCY won’t work; only attachments from LUCY are compiled in Real Time with certain settings (IP, Domain Name, URL etc.). **Note**: The current edition of LUCY will include tools that access files on shares and upload them to the campaign or access the email client via MAPI.

-**File Downloads (mail/web) are Blocked - Is There a Workaround?** 
- 
-Yes - We have a tool which allows you to compile any executable into an Word document and convert it into a Macro. Depending on Security Settings, the user might get a security warning when opening of the Word document. The tool is only available for Commercial Clients on request.
