Let us start our introductory recipe about SET where we will be discussing SET on different platforms.
SET can be downloaded for different platforms from its official site, www.social-engineer.com. It has both the GUI version, which runs through browser and the command-line version, which can be executed from the terminal. It comes pre-installed in BackTrack which will be our platform for discussion in this chapter.
To launch SET on BackTrack, start the terminal window and pass the following path:
