The SET is an open-source penetration testing framework designed for social engineering. SET has several custom attacks that allow us to attack a fraction of time. These kinds of tools use human behaviors to trick them into the attack vectors.

The SET was created and written by Dave Kennedy, the founder of TrustedSec.The attacks built into the toolkit are designed to be targeted and focused attacks against a person or organization used during a penetration test. It has over 2 million downloads and is aimed at leveraging advanced technological attacks in a social-engineering-type environment.
