How could we decipher SET using programming homework service?
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 become a standard tool in a penetration testers arsenal. SET is 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 focused attacks against a person or organization used during a penetration test.

On this topic, I am going to guide you how to install SET on Windows.

Method 1

  1. Download and install Python.
  2. Download and install PyCrypto library.
  3. Clone SET git repository from https://github.com/trustedsec/social-engineer-toolkit/
  4. Open your cmd and run Social-Engineer Toolkit:
    python C:\Users\<username>\Documents\GitHub\social-engineer-toolkit\se-toolkit

NOTE: You need to install Metasploit for attacking your target.

Method 2: Windows 10 only

I use windows subsystem.

  • Enable Windows subsystem
    • Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
      Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
    • Restart your computer when prompted.
  • Install any Linux distro from Windows Store

    Here are links directly to the store installers:

  • Open Ubuntu
  • Run command
    apt-get –force-yes -y install git apache2 python-requests libapache2-mod-php python-pymssql build-essential python-pexpect python-pefile python-crypto python-openssl
  • Install SET
    $ git clone https://github.com/trustedsec/social-engineer-toolkit/ set/
    $ cd set
    $ python setup.py install
