Objectives:
Compare and contrast different types of social engineering techniques.
Resources:
- See PowerPoint presentations: 1.1.8 Credential Harvesting.pptx, Lab – Credential Harvesting
Assignment:
- Begin reading the 1.1.8 Credential Harvesting.pptx presentation. This lesson will introduce you to social engineering-based attacks designed to acquire login credentials from victims.
- Next, begin the Lab – Credential Harvesting.pptx lab. This lab will introduce you to the Social Engineering Toolkit, a powerful set of tools that you can use to set up a number of credential-stealing attacks. In this activity, you will use the Social Engineering Toolkit to launch a phishing attack within the confines of the CYBER.ORG Cyber Range.
- Play the victim, and upload a screenshot of the successful attack screen with the “GOT A HIT!” message to today’s Google Classroom assignment post to confirm completion of the lab.
