What is Setoolkit?

Setoolkit or SET is an open-source framework for performing pentesting focused on Social Engineering attacks. Social engineering is the art of obtaining information from users through manipulating people. Therefore, in every security audit of companies, it is extremely important to audit the weakest point in cybersecurity within companies: the employees. The company Trusted Sec developed the framework and created this manual: [https://github.com/trustedsec/social-engineer-toolkit/raw/master/readme/User\_Manual.pdf](https://github.com/trustedsec/social-engineer-toolkit/raw/master/readme/User_Manual.pdf) The manual explains all the attacks you can perform using SET. In Kali Linux, it comes pre-installed, and if you don’t have Kali, you can download it for any Linux distribution or for OSX.
