Social Engineer Toolkit or SET updated to V4.0 . The latest version code named is “Balls of Steel.” The Social Engineering Toolkit (SET) is an open source, python-driven, social-engineering penetration testing framework of custom tools which solely focuses on attacking the human element of penetration testing.

It was designed in order to arm penetration testers and security researchers with the ability to effectively test heavily advanced social-engineering attacks armed with logical methods. The Social Engineer Toolkit leverages multiple attack vectors that take advantage of the human element of security in an effort to target attackers.

In New version the Java Applet attack has been completely rewritten and obfuscated with added evasion techniques. Additionally, all of the payloads have been heavily encrypted with a number of heavy anti-debugging tools.

The powershell attack vectors now support customized payload selection through the config/set_config. A new attack vector has been added called the Dell DRAC Attack Vector (default credential finder).
