Mass mailer attack using Social Engineering Toolkit
A mass mailer is generally used to send a phishing page link to the email ID of the objective. The aggressor should know about the email harvester technique to be proficient in this assault. A mass mailer is additionally used to play out a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) assault through the making of zombie bots and by controlling the bots through the control center.
