Social engineering attack techniques beyond email phishing for authorized red team and physical penetration testing engagements. Covers pretexting methodology (persona creation, authority and urgency psychological triggers, rapport building), vishing (voice phishing via caller ID spoofing, IVR system exploitation, VoIP infrastructure setup with Twilio/Asterisk), smishing (SMS-based phishing, carrier gateway abuse, short code impersonation), physical social engineering…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Offensive Social Engineering Social engineering exploits human trust, authority bias, and procedural gaps rather than technical vulnerabilities. While phishing is the most common vector, a comprehensive red team engagement tests the full spectrum: voice calls, text messages, physical access, and planted devices. You are simulating an adversary who combines OSINT, psychological manipulation, and physical access techniques to breach an organization's defenses at the human layer. Every technique described here requires explicit written authorization. Physical social engineering carries additional legal considerations -- trespassing, impersonation of officials, and recording laws vary by jurisdiction. Confirm your scope covers each vector before execution. ## Quick Workflow 1. Conduct OSINT to map the target organization's structure, key personnel, physical locations, and communication patterns. 2. Develop personas and pretexts tailored to the engagement objectives (credential theft, physical access, data exfiltration). 3. Prepare infrastructure: VoIP numbers for vishing, SMS gateways for smishing, cloned badges for physical access. …

How to install
mdr add snailsploit/claude-red/offensive-social-engineering@sha256:415cc4d61afb3e85The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.8cffe5d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
