By default, PostgresSQL is the default database. In this option, you can choose which database Metasploit will use. # This will tell what database to use when using the MetaSploit functionality. By default, the Metasploit location is /opt/metasploit/msf3. SET uses Metasploit for the payload creations, file format bugs, and for the browser exploit scenarios. In the first option, you can change the path of where Metasploit is located. While looking through the configuration file, you can change any option to get the desired result. # Define the path to MetaSploit, for example: /pentest/exploits/framework3 To open SET configuration file, Open the terminal and change the directory to config folder under the SET directory, you will find the configuration file called set_config. So after updating SET, it’s time to edit the SET configuration file.

SET using its default settings works perfectly for most users, but advanced customization will help us to make sure that the attack vectors run without problems. The power of SET is in its configuration file.

#Social engineering toolkit german update
To do so, open the terminal and change directory to the SET directory, then enter the following svn update The first step that we should take after installing BackTrack is updating the Social Engineering Toolkit. It can also be downloaded through GitHub using the following command: The Social-Engineer Toolkit(SET) is included in the latest version of the most popular Linux distribution focused on security- BackTrack. The attacks built into the toolkit are designed to be targeted and focused attacks against a person or organization used during a penetration test. The Social-Engineer (SET) was created and written by David Kennedy (ReL1K) and is an open-source python-driven tool that focuses solely on attacking the weakest link in the information security chain -the human element. It differs from traditional cons in that often the attack is often a mere step in a more complex fraud. This is a type of confidence trick for the purpose of information gathering, fraud, or computer system access. Social engineering, in the context of security, is understood to mean the art of manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. What is social engineering?
