Cutting Edge Module – Social Engineering Toolkit
August 4, 2010
One of the most interesting developments of the past year is the The Social Engineering Toolkit (SET). Produced as an extension to Metasploit, SET is an invaluable tool in the penetration tester’s arsenal, especially as the industry has shifted away from server-side and application-side vulnerabilities toward a more client-centric model.
Members get an in depth education on the use of SET and labs that teach them how to use it in their day to day lives.
Although – we must apologize: the module was released a while ago – we just haven’t had time to write about it (or most of the other neat new things that came out recently) as this past month was CRAZY. The Next HOPE, Black Hat, BSides and Defcon kept us scrambling to keep our brains in our heads, and our heads on our shoulders. And, of course, with Rel1k’s release of SET 0.6 at BSides, we’ll be producing an updated version of this one shortly.
