Abstract:
The manual effort required by social engineers, to obtain information about people and organizations that are in their interest, is sometimes very high. They therefore strive to automate processes as much as possible. With a few menu entries and selections, it is already possible to export email addresses from social media profiles, as well as to send friend requests and phishing messages to a large number of people. This paper presents the extent to which processes in a Social Engineering attack can already be automated and the tools that can be used to do so. The possibilities and reliability of the freely available tools were evaluated and compared in a practical application. The clustering of the tools is based on the phases of a technical Social Engineering model, derived from the most common Social Engineering frameworks.
