Phat operates by reading the email headers from the specified file formats. It utilizes PowerShell scripts to extract relevant information, which is then presented in an easy-to-read format. The application highlights important fields, allowing users to quickly assess the email's legitimacy.
Phat currently supports the following email formats:
.eml: Standard format for email messages..msg: Microsoft Outlook email message format.
SPF helps verify that the email comes from an authorized server. It prevents spoofing by checking the sender's IP address against a list of authorized IPs.
DKIM adds a digital signature to the email header. This signature verifies that the email content has not been altered during transit.
DMARC builds on SPF and DKIM. It allows domain owners to set policies on how to handle emails that fail authentication checks.
