![]() Maltego is a program that can be used to determine the relationships and real world links between: People, Groups of people (social networks), Companies, Organizations, Web sites, Internet infrastructure such as: Domains, DNS names, Netblocks, IP addresses, Phrases, Affiliations, Documents and files. ![]() SET has a number of custom attack vectors that allow you to make a believable attack quickly. The Social-Engineer Toolkit is an open-source penetration testing framework designed for social engineering. It’s main purpose is to augment and simulate social-engineering attacks and allow the tester to effectively test how a targeted attack may succeed. The Social-Engineering Toolkit (SET) is a python-driven suite of custom tools which solely focuses on attacking the human element of pentesting. Social Engineering Tools are as follows : Please act carefully, use security software and ask professionals for help. Also data through IM’s can be easily sniffed.ģ) Don’t accept executable files (like *.exe, *.bat, *.vbs, *.scr, etc.) from unknown persons you meet on the net. Remember, it’s not a hard deal for an attacker to crack an e-mail id and chat with you like your friend. which are particularly used by your web account providers to remind your passwords.Ģ) Don’t give your credit card details to even your chatting through instant messengers. Don’t even accidentally say answers to the questions like “What’s you pet’s name?”, “What is your mother maiden’s name?”, etc. Prevention:ġ) Don’t believe everyone you meet on the net and tell them every thing about you. These keyloggers when executed gets installed and send back information to the attacker. Some social engineers stepped one more forward and they send some keyloggers or Trojans to the victims claimed to be as screensavers or pics. Even some people are so vulnerable to this attack that they even give their credit card numbers to the strangers (social engineers). Most of the times his person information will be useful to crack his web accounts like e-mail ids, etc. But after you are being trusted by the victim he will say you every thing about him. It may take a long time (may be in minutes, hours, days or months) for this to happen. The most crucial part of this attack is to win the trust of the victim. With the increase in use of Instant Messengers, any anonymous person may have a chat with another any where in the world. Social Engineering attacks have become most common during the chat sessions. After all we are all humans we are also vulnerable and can be easily exploited and compromised than the computers. But what happens if some internal person of a network accidentally gives out the passwords. We are all talking about network security and fixing the vulnerabilities in networks. This really works, but it requires a lot of patience. It just deals with simple psychological tricks that help to get the information we want. Social Engineering doesn’t deal with the network security issues, vulnerabilities, exploits, etc. ![]() This has become one of the hottest topics today and it seems to work out most of the times. The toolkit has been featured in a number of books including the number one best seller in security books for 12 months since its release, “Metasploit: The Penetrations Tester’s Guide” written by TrustedSec’s founder as well as Devon Kearns, Jim O’Gorman, and Mati Aharoni.Social Engineering:- To Hack The Human Mind □ ![]() TrustedSec believes that social-engineering is one of the hardest attacks to protect against and now one of the most prevalent. It has over 2 million downloads and is aimed at leveraging advanced technological attacks in a social-engineering type environment. With over two million downloads, it is the standard for social-engineering penetration tests and supported heavily within the security community. It has been presented at large-scale conferences including Blackhat, Derb圜on, Defcon, and ShmooCon. It is an open-source Python-driven tool aimed at penetration testing around Social-Engineering. The Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET) was created and written by Dave Kennedy, the founder of TrustedSec. ![]()
