How To Use Social Engineering Toolkit (SET) in Kali Linux ?

The Social Engineering Toolkit (SET) is a powerful open-source tool that is included in Kali Linux for performing various social engineering attacks. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use SET in Kali Linux :

1. Open a terminal in Kali Linux and type the following command to launch the SET tool: setoolkit

2.Once the SET tool opens, select the option "1) Social-Engineering Attacks" and hit Enter.

3.Next, choose the type of attack you want to perform. SET offers a wide range of options, including spear phishing, website attack vectors, and more. For example, if you want to perform a spear phishing attack, select option "2) Website Attack Vectors" and then "3) Credential Harvester Attack Method."

4.Follow the prompts and enter the necessary information, such as the URL of the target website and the email address to use for the attack. You can also customize the email message to make it more convincing.

5.SET will generate a fake login page and host it on your machine. When the victim visits the page and enters their login credentials, SET will capture the information and store it in a file for you to access later.

6.After the attack is complete, you can view the captured credentials in the SET console or by navigating to the "output" folder in the SET directory.

It's important to note that using SET for any unauthorized activity is illegal and can result in serious consequences. SET should only be used for educational or ethical purposes, such as testing the security of your own organization.
