What the CYBERDISE Freemium Edition is
It is a free phishing tool and learning environment where users can complete cybersecurity courses. Technically speaking, it is an attack simulator and a lean LMS including a content editor and user management.
What does the solution include?
The phishing simulator, learning management functionalities, two dozen attack templates, a dozen e-learning modules on information security, a content editor for customizing templates, and recipient management.
Does the product include freely customizable templates for phishing exercises?
Yes. Here is a short list of templates that can be customized. Many scenario templates are available in duplicate, i.e., a real scenario and a scenario template with slightly modified names and visual elements. 20+ phishing templates:

Can I modify existing content and add my own?

Installing and running the Freemium Edition
The Cyberdise Freemium Edition is provided as a Docker-based installation and can be downloaded <here>. Download it and install it using the instructions. Then configure the tenant (languages, time, checks, SSL, etc.), add domains, define or upload recipient groups, set up campaigns, insert and customize scenarios (see next image).
What hardware and software do I need?
Hardware: We recommend 3 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD. However, stable operation is also possible with 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 20–40 GB SSD storage, because the implementation is very lean and the templates and training videos are only downloaded after installation. This is sufficient for several hundred users.
Software: Linux server (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS recommended), Docker Compose (or Kubernetes), access to SMTP or mail relay.
The tech stack of the free phishing tool is PHP (Laravel); PostgreSQL; TypeScript & Vue.js for frontend; Nginx web server; Redis caching and integrated SSL & custom domain management.
Can I use Cyberdise Freemium on my notebook?
Of course! The server also runs on a notebook ϑ But it doesn’t make much sense, because for a phishing exercise campaign to run correctly, it needs a public IP and an ‘attack’ or training domain (DNS) that is accessible from the internet.
Limitations, ads and security
Cyberdise Freemium has no artificial feature deactivation in the code and the tool uses the same engine as higher editions. It has has unlimited validity. Nevertheless, it has limitations:
Max. 500 users, max. 600 messages sent cumulatively. This version also lacks: an integrated LMS user portal, REST API access, the multi-tenant structure is disabled, and the free phishing edition does not include advanced enterprise integrations.
Are there any ads in the product?
No, except for an upgrade notification, there are no ads.
Is the solution secure?
Secure software development is our top priority, and we have an external pentest carried out every year. If you would like to see the report, please ask us. However, the use of Cyberdise Freemium is your own responsibility.
