Social engineering toolkit has played and is playing an important role in the field of information security and ethical hacking, social engineering means to take advantages of human weakness to hack a computer system or a server. Social engineering toolkit is a computer based software that are also available on backtrack 5.
Backtrack is not only a single Linux distribution that contain SET, other distributions like Gnacktrack, backbox also have SET. On social engineering toolkit tutorial we have learnt how to get meterpreter and shell access on a computer, in this tutorial I will explain you some harvester attack method.
What is Credential Harvester Attack Method
The credential harvester attack method is used when you don’t want to specifically get a shell but perform phishing attacks in order to obtain username and passwords from the system. In this attack vector, a website will be cloned, and when the victim enters in the user credentials, the usernames and passwords will be posted back to your machine and then the victim will be redirected back to the legitimate site.
So for this tutorial I will integrate Mass Mailer Attack with credential harvester attack.
Requirement
- Operating system
- Social Engineering Toolkit
- A brain
Any operating system is applicable for this type of attack but I am using backtrack 5 for this attack, it is a good practice to make a video tutorial instead of images and text so here is the video tutorial of social engineering toolkit mass mailer attack with harvester attack method.
