-  * **“START”** - means the system will attack victims or start the awareness. After pressing real attack LUCY will send out all mails to your recipient group(s). Note: if you press "START - START" for a campaign that has been started & stopped before (so mails already have been sent out once before), the mails won't be resent (only the webpage will be started and the links become available again). To resend the mails in such a scenario please use the "RESTART" button. If you add new scenario's to a campaign which has been previously started and then click "START", only the mails for the new scenario will be sent and the initial scenario will resume. During the time a campaign is stopped, the landing pages won't be accessible and the user will see an error, that can be [[not_found_pages_404|customized]].
