1. Executive Summary & Value Proposition

Testing employee handling of physical USB media and email attachments requires authentic files that safely emulate malware payloads without introducing operational danger to corporate laptops.

The Drive Payloads & LockChain Templates studio enables administrators to generate digitally signed, completely harmless tracking payloads for physical USB baiting drills and simulated ransomware attachment tests.

2. Core Capabilities

1. Drive Payloads (/drive-payloads)

  • Custom Lure Labels: Generate tracking files with realistic filenames (e.g., Executive_Bonus_Matrix.html, Staffing_Changes_2026.pdf.html).
  • Harmless Beaconing: Payloads contain zero malicious code; upon opening, they securely signal the employee's workstation hostname and timestamp back to the SimuPhish portal before redirecting to an educational debrief.

2. LockChain Templates (/lockchain-templates)

  • Mock Attachment Formats: Author email scenarios featuring harmless ZIP archives, simulated macro-enabled spreadsheets (.xlsm), and double-extension files (.pdf.exe).
  • Execution Telemetry: Accurately distinguishes between an employee who merely downloads an attachment vs. one who attempts to execute the payload or enable macros.

3. Enterprise Safety Guarantee

  • 100% Endpoint Safety: Guaranteed zero system changes, registry edits, or malicious network calls.
  • Cyber Insurance Compliance: Provides verifiable proof to cyber risk insurers that the organization tests physical media and attachment handling safely.
