Social Engineering Toolkit (SET)

The Social Engineering Toolkit (SET) is a software framework designed for penetration testing and security assessment. It helps security professionals simulate cyber attacks that target human behavior, such as crafting fake emails or websites to identify vulnerabilities in an organization’s defenses. By doing so, it allows organizations to understand how attackers might exploit social interactions and improve their security awareness. SET provides tools to create realistic attack scenarios ethically, aiming to strengthen overall cybersecurity by highlighting weaknesses before malicious hackers can exploit them.
