Social-Engineer Toolkit

Social engineering toolkit for penetration tests

About Social-Engineer Toolkit

The Social-Engineer Toolkit is a framework for penetration testers to simulate phishing, credential harvesting, and other social engineering attacks. You can deploy it with common tooling such as Docker or a standard package install and integrate it with the systems you already run. For teams, the appeal is control: audit the code, extend it where the license allows, and keep the workflow running even if a vendor changes direction.
