About Social Engineering and SET

 Social Engineering
     Social Engineering is the name of a technique of information gathering by exploiting the victims psychology. Or perhaps should also be regarded as fraud. Social Engineering requires patience and caution to the unsuspecting victim. We are required to be creative and able to think like a victim.
Social Engineering is the art of forcing others to do things according to your expectations or desires. Of course, do not force that openly or outside of normal behavior is usually done with the victim.
      Social engineering concentrates on the weakest chain of computer network systems, namely humans. As we know, no computer system that does not involve human interaction. And worse, this vulnerability is universal, independent of platforms, operating systems, protocols, software or hardware. That is, each system has the same weakness in human factors. Any person who has physical access to the system is a threat, even if the person is not included in the security policy that had been developed. Other methods such as hacking, social engineering also requires preparation, even most of the work includes the preparation itself.

SET
      SET is a python driven suite of custom tools which solaly focuses on attacking the human elemant of penestrating testing. it is main purpose is to augment and simulate social engineering attack and allow the tester to effectively test how targeted attack may succed.
