Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET) v8.0.3 released

The Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET) is specifically designed to perform advanced attacks against the human element. SET  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 on attacks against a person or organization used during a penetration test.

SET is a menu-driven based attack system, which is fairly unique when it comes to hacker tools. The decision not to make it a command line was made because of how social-engineer attacks occur; it requires multiple scenarios, options, and customizations. If the tool had been command-line based it would have really limited the effectiveness of the attacks and the inability to fully customize it based on your target.

The Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET) was created and written by the founder of TrustedSec. It is an open-source Python-driven tool aimed at penetration testing around Social-Engineering. SET has been presented at large-scale conferences including Blackhat, DerbyCon, Defcon, and ShmooCon. With over two million downloads, SET is the standard for social engineering penetration tests and supported heavily within the security community.

The Social-Engineer Toolkit has over 2 million downloads and is aimed at leveraging advanced technological attacks in a social-engineering type environment. TrustedSec believes that social-engineering is one of the hardest attacks to protect against and now one of the most prevalent. The toolkit has been featured in a number of books including the number one bestseller in security books for 12 months since its release, “Metasploit: The Penetrations Tester’s Guide” written by TrustedSec’s founder as well as Devon Kearns, Jim O’Gorman, and Mati Aharoni.
