Once you’ve updated to the latest version, start tweaking your attack by editing the
SET configuration file. Let’s walk through each of the flags:
Looking through the configuration options, you can change specific fields to get a
desired result. In the first option, you can change the path of where the location of
Metasploit is. Metasploit is used for the payload creations, file format bugs, and for the
browser exploit sections.
The Ettercap section can be used when you’re on the same subnet as the victims and
you want to perform DNS poison attacks against a subset of IP addresses. When this
flag is set to ON, it will poison the entire local subnet and redirect a specific site or all
sites to your malicious server running.
Setting the SENDMAIL flag to ON will try starting SENDMAIL, which can spoof source
email addresses. This attack only works if the victim’s SMTP server does not perform
reverse lookups on the hostname. SENDMAIL must be installed. If your using
BackTrack 4, it is installed by default.
When setting the WEBATTACK_EMAIL to ON, it will allow you to send mass emails to
the victim while utilizing the Web Attack vector. Traditionally the emailing aspect is only
available through the spear-phishing menu however when this is enabled it will add
additional functionality for you to be able to email victims with links to help better your
attacks.
The Java Applet Attack vector is the attack with one of the highest rates of success
that SET has in its arsenal. To make the attack look more believable, you can turn this
flag on which will allow you to sign the Java Applet with whatever name you want. Say
your targeting CompanyX, the standard Java Applet is signed by Microsoft, you can
sign the applet with CompanyX to make it look more believable. This will require you to
install java’s jdk (in Ubuntu its apt-get install sun-java6-jdk or openjdk-6-jdk).
# THIS FLAG WILL SET THE JAVA ID FLAG WITHIN THE JAVA APPLET TO
SOMETHING DIFFE$
# THIS COULD BE TO MAKE IT LOOK MORE BELIEVABLE OR FOR BETTER
OBFUSCATION
JAVA_ID_PARAM=Secure Java Applet
#
# JAVA APPLET REPEATER OPTION WILL CONTINUE TO PROMPT THE USER
WITH THE JAVA AP$
# THE USER HITS CANCEL. THIS MEANS IT WILL BE NON STOP UNTIL RUN IS
EXECUTED. T$
# A BETTER SUCCESS RATE FOR THE JAVA APPLET ATTACK
JAVA_REPEATER=ON
When a user gets the java applet warning, they will see the ‘Secure Java Applet’ as the
name of the Applet instead of the IP address. This adds a better believability to the java
applet. The second option will prompt the user over and over with nagging Java Applet
warnings if they hit cancel. This is useful when the user clicks cancel and the attack
would be rendered useless, instead it will continue to pop up over and over.
The AUTO_DETECT flag is probably one of the most asked questions in SET. In most
cases, SET will grab the interface you use in order to connect out to the Internet and
use that as the reverse connection and IP address. Most attacks need to be
customized and may not be on the internal network. If you turn this flag to OFF, SET
will prompt you with additional questions on setting up the attack. This flag should be
used when you want to use multiple interfaces, have an external IP, or you’re in a
NAT/Port forwarding scenario.
# SPECIFY WHAT PORT TO RUN THE HTTP SERVER OFF OF THAT SERVES THE
JAVA APPLET ATTACK
# OR METASPLOIT EXPLOIT. DEFAULT IS PORT 80.
WEB_PORT=80
5
By default the SET web server listens on port 80, if for some reason you need to
change this, you can specify an alternative port.
When using the payload encoding options of SET, the best option for Anti-Virus bypass
is the backdoored, or loaded with a malicious payload hidden in the exe, executable
option. Specifically an exe is backdoored with a Metasploit based payload and can
generally evade most AV’s out there. SET has an executable built into it for the
backdooring of the exe however if for some reason you want to use a different
executable, you can specify the path to that exe with the CUSTOM_EXE flag.
The web server utilized within SET is a custom-coded web server that at times can be
somewhat slow based off of the needs. If you find that you need a boost and want to
utilize Apache, you can flip this switch to ON and it will use Apache to handle the web
requests and speed your attack up. Note that this attack only works with the Java
Applet and Metasploit based attacks. Based on the interception of credentials, Apache
cannot be used with the web jacking, tabnabbing, or credential harvester attack
methods.
#
SELF_SIGNED_CERT=OFF
#
# BELOW IS THE CLIENT/SERVER (PRIVATE) CERT, THIS MUST BE IN PEM
FORMAT IN ORDER TO WORK
# SIMPLY PLACE THE PATH YOU WANT FOR EXAMPLE
/root/ssl_client/server.pem
PEM_CLIENT=/root/newcert.pem
PEM_SERVER=/root/newreq.pem
In some cases when your performing an advanced social-engineer attack you may
want to register a domain and buy an SSL cert that makes the attack more believable.
You can incorporate SSL based attacks with SET. You will need to turn the
WEBATTACK_SSL to ON. If you want to use self-signed certificates you can as well
however there will be an “untrusted” warning when a victim goes to your website.
TWEAK THE WEB JACKING TIME USED FOR THE IFRAME REPLACE,
SOMETIMES IT CAN BE A LITTLE SLOW
# AND HARDER TO CONVINCE THE VICTIM. 5000 = 5 seconds
WEBJACKING_TIME=2000
The webjacking attack is performed by replacing the victim’s browser with another
window that is made to look and appear to be a legitimate site. This attack is very
dependant on timing, if your doing it over the Internet, I recommend the delay to be
5000 (5 seconds) otherwise if your internal, 2000 (2 seconds) is probably a safe bet.
The digital signature stealing method requires the python module called PEFILE which
uses a technique used in Disitool by Didier Stevens by taking the digital certificate
signed by Microsoft and importing it into a malicious executable. A lot of times this will
give better anti-virus detection.
In addition to digital signature stealing, you can do additional packing by using UPX.
This is installed by default on Back|Track linux, if this is set to ON and it does not find
it, it will still continue but disable the UPX packing.
The next options can configure once a meterpreter session has been established, what
types of commands to automatically run. This would be useful if your getting multiple
shells and want to execute specific commands to extract information on the system.
# THIS FEATURE WILL AUTO EMBED A IMG SRC TAG TO A UNC PATH OF YOUR
ATTACK MACHINE.
# USEFUL IF YOU WANT TO INTERCEPT THE HALF LM KEYS WITH
RAINBOWTABLES. WHAT WILL HAPPEN
# IS AS SOON AS THE VICTIM CLICKS THE WEB-PAGE LINK, A UNC PATH WILL
BE INITIATED
# AND THE METASPLOIT CAPTURE/SMB MODULE WILL INTERCEPT THE HASH
VALUES.
UNC_EMBED=OFF
#
This will automatically embed a UNC path into the web application, when the victim
connects to your site, it will try connecting to the server via a file share. When that
occurs a challenge response happens and the challenge/responses can be captured
and used for attacking.
2 SET Menu’s
SET is a menu driven based attack system, which is fairly unique when it comes to
hacker tools. The decision not to make it command line was made because of how
social-engineer attacks occur; it requires multiple scenarios, options, and
customizations. If the tool had been command line based it would have really limited
the effectiveness of the attacks and the inability to fully customize it based on your
target. Let’s dive into the menu and do a brief walkthrough of each attack vector.

Welcome to the SET E-Mail attack method. This module allows you
to specially craft email messages and send them to a large (or small) number of
10
people with attached fileformat malicious payloads. If you want to spoof your
email address, be sure "Sendmail" is installed (it is installed in BT4) and change
the config/set_config SENDMAIL=OFF flag to SENDMAIL=ON.
There are two options, one is getting your feet wet and letting SET do everything
for you (option 1), the second is to create your own FileFormat payload and use it
in your own attack. Either way, good luck and enjoy!
The spear-phishing attack menu is used for performing targeted email attacks against
a victim. You can send multiple emails based on what your harvested or you can send
it to individuals. You can also utilize fileformat (for example a PDF bug) and send the
malicious attack to the victim in order to hopefully compromise the system.
set> 2
The Java Applet attack will spoof a Java Certificate and deliver a Metasploit
based payload. Uses a customized java applet created by Thomas Werth to
deliver the payload.
The Metasploit browser exploit method will utilize select Metasploit browser
exploits through an iframe and deliver a Metasploit payload.
The Credential Harvester Method will utilize web cloning of a website that has a
username and password field and harvest all the information posted to the
website.
The TabNabbing Method will wait for a user to move to a different tab, then
refresh the page to something different.
The web jacking attack method was introduced by white_sheep, Emgent and the
Back|Track team. This method utilizes iframe replacements to make the
highlighted URL link to appear legitimate however when clicked a window pops
up then is replaced with the malicious link. You can edit the link replacement
settings in the set_config if its to slow/fast.
The multi-attack will add a combination of attacks through the web attack
menu. For example you can utilize the Java Applet, Metasploit Browser,
Credential Harvester/Tabnabbing, all at once to see which is successful.
set:webattack>
The web attack vector is used by performing phishing attacks against the victim in
hopes they click the link. There is a wide-variety of attacks that can occur once they
click. We will dive into each one of the attacks later on.
The infectious USB/DVD creator will develop a Metasploit based payload for you and
craft an autorun.inf file that once burned or placed on a USB will trigger an autorun
feature and hopefully compromise the system. This attack vector is relatively simple in
nature and relies on deploying the devices to the physical system.
The create payload and listener is an extremely simple wrapper around Metasploit to
create a payload, export the exe for you and generate a listener. You would need to
transfer the exe onto the victim machine and execute it in order for it to properly work.
The mass mailer attack will allow you to send multiple emails to victims and customize
the messages. This option does not allow you to create payloads, so it is generally
used to perform a mass phishing attack.

You will need to purchase the Teensy USB device, it's roughly
13
$22 dollars. This attack vector will auto generate the code
needed in order to deploy the payload on the system for you.
This attack vector will create the .pde files necessary to import
into Arduino (the IDE used for programming the Teensy). The attack
vectors range from Powershell based downloaders, wscript attacks,
and other methods.

keystroke-dongle
This attack vector also attacks X10 based controllers, be sure to be leveraging
X10 based communication devices in order for this to work.

The teensy USB HID attack is a method used by purchasing a hardware based device
from prjc.com and programming it in a manner that makes the small USB
microcontroller to look and feel exactly like a keyboard. The important part with this is
it bypasses autorun capabilities and can drop payloads onto the system through the
onboard flash memory. The keyboard simulation allows you to type characters in a

There are two options on the mass e-mailer, the first would
be to send an email to one individual person. The second option
will allow you to import a list and send it to as many people as
you want within that list.
Do you want to use a predefined template or craft a one time email template.

The Web Attack module is a unique way of utilizing multiple web-based attacks
in order to compromise the intended victim.
The Java Applet Attack method will spoof a Java Certificate and deliver a
metasploit based payload. Uses a customized java applet created by Thomas
Werth to deliver the payload.
The Multi-Attack method will add a combination of attacks through the web

In this attack, we’ve set up our scenario to clone https://gmail.com and use the reverse
meterpreter attack vector on port 443. We’ve used the backdoored executable to
hopefully bypass anti-virus and setup Metasploit to handler the reverse connections. If
you wanted to utilize an email with this attack vector you could turn the
config/set_config turn the WEBATTACK_EMAIL=OFF to WEBATTACK_EMAIL=ON.
When you get a victim to click a link or coax him to your website, it will look something
like this:

As soon as the victim clicks run, you are presented with a meterpreter shell, and the
victim is redirected back to the original Google site completely unaware that they have
been compromised. Note that Java has updated their applet code to show the
“Publisher” field on the applet as UNKNOWN when self signing. In order to bypass
this, you will need to register a company in your local state, and buy a code signing
certificate in the company name.
Attack Description:
28
The full-screen attack utilizes the trust in the web browser by using the introduced
FullScreen API available in Firefox, Chrome and Safari. ( Windows , Mac or Linux )
The FullScreen attack module comes available with just two FullScreen Attack options.
Getting the user to click on a crafted link with spoofed browser tooltip text when the
user rolls over the link making them believe it's really https://www.gmail.com . When
clicked a script detects which type of browser the user is running and deploys images
to match the browser ( including OS ) . Displaying a fake page and asking for user
passwords or other important information.
The main menu displays three options the first to generate an original FullScreen attack
on it's own separate page. The second option is crafting the full-screen attack into a
usable XSS ( Cross site scripting ) set of files ready to be deployed. And of course the
last option will take you back to SETs previous menu.
First Option:
First option will display two available Full-Screen Attacks Picking one or the other will
result in several prompts asking you information based on how you would
like your FullScreen Attack page created for field deployment. Currently the two
Generated attacks
are GMAIL and FACEBOOK. PHP must be enabled on your server for additional
information gathering
techniques to work. It will ask if you have a local server running? A simple Yes or no
will lead you to either
storing the generated files locally on disk or locally within your running web server. The
next question will ask
about relaying the victims information after the attack has been established and
finalized. The information can either be saved locally on disk or be mailed to you. ( If
you pick mail please make sure PHPs mail features are setup and running. )
Entering an Email address or answering if you would like a Random File name
generated for each new submission is then asked. Obviously picking No to random
files will have you enter a file name where all results will be stored on disk. The next
question will ask if you would like to gather a more in-depth information gathering
profile for each victim, this includes things such as GEOIP, ISP, USER AGENT etc..
Other various questions will be asked hitting enter will keep the default answer for each
situation. There is also a brief description of each function and what it does also. Make
sure SET has proper read + write priv set so it can create all of the newly generated
files. Success messages will be displayed after everything has been created. [ 1 PHP
File , js Folder , img Folder , css Folder ] The php file will depend on the name you
assigned it during configuration the default is index.php. * DO NOT RE NAME ANY
FOLDERS OR FILES WITHIN FOLDERS *
29
Second Option:
The second option is for XSS deployment and my favorite. This ends up creating all
folders and simply linking to your header.js file (http://yoursite/header.js) in your XSS
payload will display the FullScreen attack file embedded within whatever site you have
ethically found and are exploiting an XSS within. This also requires PHP be present on
your attacking server because a PHP file will be there listening for incoming form
submissions. The XSS vuln should be able to run JavaScript for this attack to work
properly. Currently there is only one XSS Full-Screen generation option available,
which is Facebook. More options and methods will be added in the future.
The First question after selecting this attack is to specify the absolute path of where
you are keeping all the folders and files. ( Ex: http://mysite.net/FullScreenfolder ) This
needs to be specific so all the images and files can all have an absolute path so they
are displayed during the XSS attack. All other questions will be straightforward and
explained with a brief description of what it does. Last you will pick a spot where to
upload all of the generated files for the attack. There will be one PHP file called
varGrab.php that will sit on your backend server listening to incoming data. (The data is
transferred using various JavaScript methods ) The others are folders created [js, img,
css ] . The JavaScript file that you want to link during your XSS payload is [
http://yoursite.com/js/header.js ] ( in the js folder )
* DO NOT CHANGE FOLDER OR FILE NAMES UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY DIVING
INTO THINGS *

The Web Attack module is a unique way of utilizing multiple web-based attack in
order to compromise the intended victim.
The Java Applet Attack method will spoof a Java Certificate and deliver a
