Social engineering
Social engineering is a term that describes a non-technical kind of intrusion that relies heavily on human interaction and often involves tricking other people to break normal security procedures.
Social engineering is a component of many, if not most, types of exploits. Virus writers use social engineering tactics to persuade people to run malware-laden email attachments, phishers use social engineering to convince people to divulge sensitive information, and scareware vendors use social engineering to frighten people into running software that is useless at best and dangerous at worst.

Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET)
Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET) is specifically designed to perform
advanced attacks against the human element. SET was designed to be
released with the http://www.social-engineer.org launch and has quickly
became a standard tool in a penetration testers arsenal. SET was written
by David Kennedy (ReL1K) and with a lot of help from the community it
has incorporated attacks never before seen in an exploitation toolset.
