(Social Engineering Toolkit (SET): Lesson 3)

{ Create Malicious Weblink, Install Virus, Capture Forensic Images }

Section 0. Background Information
  • What is the Social-Engineering Toolkit (SET)
    • The Social-Engineering Toolkit (SET) is a python-driven suite of custom tools which solely focuses on attacking the human element of penetration testing.
    • It's main purpose is to augment and simulate social-engineering attacks and allow the tester to effectively test how a targeted attack may succeed.
    • Social-Engineering toolkit available on backtrack like on backtrack 5, backbox, blackbuntu, Gnacktrack and other Linux distribution that are used for penetration testing.
