Social engineering is the art of convincing people to reveal confidential information. Social engineers depend on the fact that people are aware of certain valuable information and are careless in protecting it.
Objective
The objective of this lab is to help students learn to:
- Clone a website
- Obtain user names and passwords using the Credential Harvester method
- Generate reports for conducted penetration tests
Scenario
Social engineering is essentially the art of gaining access to buildings, systems, or data by exploiting human psychology, rather than by breaking in or using technical hacking techniques. The term social engineering can also mean an attempt to gain access to information, primarily through misrepresentation, and often relies on the trusting nature of most individuals. For example, instead of trying to find software vulnerability, a social engineer might call an employee and pose as an IT support person, trying to trick the employee into divulging his password.
