Social Engineering Components

A social engineering attack consists of the following components:
·
Campaign - A logical grouping of components that you need to perform a social engineering attack.
·
Campaign component - A building block for a social engineering campaign. A campaign component can be an e-mail, a web page, or a portable file.
·
Template - Reusable, shell of HTML containing boilerplate that it's useful to make available across campaigns. Create and use a template to quickly generate web page or e-mail content for a campaign.
·
Target list - A list that defines the recipients and their e-mail addresses that will receive an e-mail. The campaign sends the social engineering attack to the target list. Use CSV formatting to create a target list. The CSV file must include the following header row: email_address, first_name, last_name.
