# decode-spam-headers.py

Whether you are trying to understand why a specific e-mail ended up in SPAM/Junk for your daily Administrative duties or for your Red-Team Phishing simulation purposes, this script is there for you to help!

Idea arose while delivering a commercial Phishing Simulation exercises against MS Office365 E5 estate, equipped with MS Defender for Office365. As one can imagine, pretty tough security stack to work with from a phishing-simulation perspective.
After digging manually through all these Office365 SMTP headers and trying to cherry-pick these SCL values, time come to write up a proper parser for SMTP headers.

Time went by, I was adding support for more and more SMTP headers - and here we have it. Tool that now comprehends tens of different headers.

## Info

This tool accepts on input an `*.EML` or `*.txt` file with all the SMTP headers. It will then extract a subset of interesting headers and using **105+** tests will attempt to decode them as much as possible.

This script also extracts all IPv4 addresses and domain names and performs full DNS resolution of them.

Resulting output will contain useful information on why this e-mail might have been blocked.

In order to embellish your Phishing HTML code before sending it to your client, you might also want feed it into my [`phishing-HTML-linter.py`](https://github.com/mgeeky/Penetration-Testing-Tools/blob/master/phishing/phishing-HTML-linter.py). It does pretty decent job finding _bad smells_ in your HTML that will get your e-mail with increased Spam-score.

## Web Interface

The web UI provides an interactive workflow for pasting headers or dropping EML files, configuring checks, running the analysis with live progress, and exporting a report.

### Local Development

1. Start the backend API:

```
uvicorn backend.app.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
```

2. Start the frontend:

```
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev
```

3. Open `http://localhost:3000` in your browser.

```
cd frontend
npx playwright test
```

### Screenshots (Web UI)

- `TODO: Add header input + controls view`
- `TODO: Add analysis progress + report view`


### Example Screenshots

- Chain of MTA servers (nicely parsed `Received` headers):

![1.png](img/1.png)

- Various headers decoded as much as possible, according to publicly available documentation (here _Office365 ForeFront Spam Report_):

![2.png](img/2.png)

- Different custom heuristics implement to actively validate and seek for clues of spam categorization, here logic detecting _Domain Impersonation_:

- Script attempts to reverse-engineer and document some of the Office365 Anti-Spam rules, as well as collect public knowledge about other opaque Anti-Spam headers:

- Report can be generated into a good-looking HTML (usage: `py decode-spam-headers.py headers.txt -f html -o report.html` ):

Most of these headers are not fully documented, therefore the script is unable to pinpoint all the details, but at least it collects all I could find on them.


### Reverse-Engineering efforts

I'm making signifcant efforts to spot and understand different Office365 ForeFront Anti-Spam ruls (SFS, ENG) despite them not being publicly documented.

```

The process is purely manual and resorts to sending specifically designed mails to the Office365 mail servers and then manually reviewing and correlating collected rules.

Having sent more than 60 mails already, this is what I can tell by now about Microsoft's rules:

```py

    #
    # Below rules were collected solely in a trial-and-error manner or by scraping any 
    # pieces of information from all around the Internet.
    #
    # They do not represent the actual Anti-Spam rule name or context and surely represent 
    # something close to what is understood (or they may have totally different meaning).
    # 
    # Until we'll be able to review anti-spam rules documention, there is no viable mean to map
    # rule ID to its meaning.

Should you know anything about any other Office365 anti-spam rules (or have suggestions to the ones described above) - let me know in this repo's issues, I'll add it straight away :)



### Usage

Install required Python3 dependencies before first use:

```
bash$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt 
```

Help:

```
PS> py .\decode-spam-headers.py --help
usage: decode-spam-headers.py [options] <file | --list tests>

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

Required arguments:
  infile                Input file to be analysed or --list tests to show available tests.

Options:
  -o OUTFILE, --outfile OUTFILE
                        Output file with report
  -f {json,text,html}, --format {json,text,html}
                        Analysis report format. JSON, text. Default: text
  -N, --nocolor         Dont use colors in text output.
  -v, --verbose         Verbose mode.
  -d, --debug           Debug mode.
  -l, --list            List available tests and quit. Use it like so: --list tests

Tests:
  -i tests, --include-tests tests
                        Comma-separated list of test IDs to run. Ex. --include-tests 1,3,7
  -e tests, --exclude-tests tests
                        Comma-separated list of test IDs to skip. Ex. --exclude-tests 1,3,7
  -r, --resolve         Resolve IPv4 addresses / Domain names.

  -a, --decode-all      Decode all =?us-ascii?Q? mail encoded messages and print their contents.
```

If you want to run only a subset of tests, you'll first need to learn Test IDs of which to pick.
Run the script with `-l tests` to grab that list.

List available test and their corresponding IDs:

```
C:\> py decode-spam-headers.py -l tests

### Credits

- [ipSlav](https://github.com/ipSlav) - for [identifying two Office365 opaque rules](https://github.com/mgeeky/decode-spam-headers/issues/15): `42882007` and `78352004`


---

### Known Issues

- `getOffice365TenantNameById(tenantID)` method is not yet finished, I know of a few ways to map Office365 Tenant GUID into Tenant Name but couldn't yet establish a stable way to do so.
- `Authentication-Results` header is not yet completely parsed - gotta include `reason` processing and other fields according to [Microsoft documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/anti-spam-message-headers?view=o365-worldwide)
