# 1. Perform Social Engineering using tools
## 1. Sniff credentials using SET (Social engineering toolkit)
launch SET
```
sudo su
setoolkit
```
Select social engineering toolkit > website attack vectors > credential harvestor > site cloner
As soon as the victim types in his/her **Username** and **Password** and clicks **Login**, **SET** extracts the typed credentials. These can now be used by the attacker to gain unauthorized access to the victim’s account.
