This n8n workflow orchestrates a simulated credential trap process, starting from manual trigger to data retrieval, target validation, trap link generation, credential submission simulation, and logging. It helps security teams test and analyze potential credential trap mechanisms by automating target validation, link creation, and credential submission simulation.

The workflow begins with a manual trigger that initiates the process. It retrieves trap targets from a Google Sheets document containing potential victim data. The targets are then filtered to ensure validity before generating personalized trap links for each. It simulates credential submission to test the trap’s effectiveness and logs each interaction back into Google Sheets for record-keeping. The process can be customized or repeated for comprehensive testing.

This setup is particularly useful for cybersecurity professionals aiming to evaluate the robustness of trap mechanisms or train staff on trap detection and response workflows.
