Social Engineering Tool kit is cool tool which came with BACKTRACK, this increase power of metasploit. If you are on any linux system other than BACKTRACK , then you can install it .

Updated:This article was written when S.E.T. use SVN. Now it`s move to github. So please click here to new installation method.

Extra package which is necessary to use SET effectively are as follow.

(1)Metasploit:- You can see my old post about how to install metasploit in ubuntu here.

(2)Ettercap:- If you are on any network & want to attack on network like Man in the Middele Attack or DNS poisoning then you require it.

To install Ettercap open terminal in type following command:-

sudo apt-get install ettercap

(3)Openjdk-6-It`s necessary program to use SET. Just type following command in terminal

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk


Now open terminal & change directory to opt.

sudo bash

cd /opt

svn co http://svn.secmaniac.com/social_engineering_toolkit set/

cd /opt/set

svn update

nano config/set_config

Now we will configure it. First it require metaspolit path . So we will put it on configure file. Here comes problem , in first step we install metasploit , it`s directory is opt/metasploit-4.4.0/msf3. But when we put this path in configure file it cannot detect metasploit . So we have to rename metasploit-4.4.0 to framework3. So rename metasploit-4.4.0 folder name to framework3.

Put opt/framework3/msf3 this path in config file. Save it.Type in terminal.

./set

It will open SET .

In next tutorial I will show you how to configure sendmail & use it in set.

I Know I cannot explain good, So if you face any problem please mention in comment.
