Social Engineering Toolkit
Summary
Social Engineering Toolkit (SET) is a menu driven system that allows you to control your attacks tailored to the desired target.
Requirements
As part of this guide, I used Kali (Kali GNU/Linux Rolling 5.10.0-kali3-amd64) as the OS, so it was already preinstalled. I installed Kali on a Virtual machine (VMware® Workstation 15 Pro 15.5.5 build-16285975).
Example
Below we have an example of how to start the BeEF service, and execute a "Google Phishing" client-side attack. With this example we'll see how to gather credential information of victim.
After launching the Social Engineering Toolkit we see the above mentioned menu. Here we can choose between submenus to specify our attack.
Hook Target Browser
For practicing purposes BeEF provides a localhost webpage.
To see the details of hooked Browser
If you click on the hooked browser, under "Details" you can see information about the browser.
Command execution in the Browser
There are hundreds of modules under "Commands", which include from social engineering to browser hacks. The desired module can be selected by clicking and executed with the "Execute" button at the bottom right. I choosed the "Google Phishing" module under the "Social Engineering" Folder and clicked to "Execute".
