## Purpose
|
||||||
|
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) prevents email spoofing by defining
|
||||||
|
which mail servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of your
|
||||||
|
domain. It helps receiving mail servers verify that incoming email
|
||||||
|
from a domain comes from a host authorized by that domain's
|
||||||
|
administrators.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

## Risk Assessment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Risk | Impact | Reason |
|
||||||
|
|---------------------------------|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||||||
|
| Phishing and Social Engineering | 8 | Reduces phishing by preventing email spoofing of company |
|
||||||
|
| Business Email Compromise (BEC) | 8 | Prevents attackers from impersonating trusted partners or executives |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Implementation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Identify all legitimate email sources:
|
||||||
|
- Your mail servers
|
||||||
|
- Third-party services (e.g., Google Workspace)
|
||||||
|
- Marketing platforms
|
||||||
|
- Any other authorized email senders
|
||||||
|
2. Create SPF record
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Where:
|
||||||
|
- `v=spf1`: Version of SPF
|
||||||
|
- `include:_spf.google.com`: Include Google's mail servers
|
||||||
|
- `~all`: Soft fail for others (can be changed to -all for hard fail)
|
||||||
|
3. Add record to DNS:
|
||||||
|
- Create TXT record at domain root
|
||||||
|
- Publish SPF record in DNS
|
||||||
|
- Wait for DNS propagation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Evidence
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Screenshot of published SPF DNS record
|
||||||
|
- Email header samples showing SPF pass
|
||||||
|
- Documentation of authorized senders
