The Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET) – Computer Based Social Engineering Tools | Darknet – The Darkside.

The Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET) is specifically designed to perform advanced attacks against the human element. SET was designed to be released with the http://www.social-engineer.org launch and has quickly became a standard tool in a penetration testers arsenal. SET was written by David Kennedy (ReL1K) and with a lot of help from the community it has incorporated attacks never before seen in an exploitation toolset. The attacks built into the toolkit are designed to be targeted and focused attacks against a person or organization used during a penetration test.

Here is a list of the attack vectors SET provides:

  • Spear-Phishing Attack Vector
  • Java Applet Attack Vector
  • Metasploit Browser Exploit Method
  • Credential Harvester Attack Method
  • Tabnabbing Attack Method
  • Man Left in the Middle Attack Method
  • Web Jacking Attack Method
  • Multi-Attack Web Vector
  • Infectious Media Generator
  • Teensy USB HID Attack Vector
