Phinsta is a historical cybersecurity project created to demonstrate Instagram-style phishing scenarios, social engineering risks, and user awareness in controlled lab environments.
This project is intended only for cybersecurity education, authorized testing, and security-awareness demonstrations. Do not use it to collect real credentials or target third parties.
For controlled local testing:
cd Instagram-Login-1
# orcd Instagram-Login-2
php -S 127.0.0.1:8080
python phinsta.pyUse only fictional test accounts and isolated lab environments.
The project demonstrates how familiar login interfaces can be abused in social-engineering scenarios and why users should verify URLs, domains, authentication flows, and enable MFA.
This repository is preserved for historical and educational purposes. It is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta.
Unauthorized phishing, credential collection, impersonation, or access to third-party accounts is not the intended use of this project.
