1. Introduction
first the definition of social engineering From wikipedia.org

Social engineering is commonly understood to mean the art of manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information.
While it is similar to a confidence trick or simple fraud, the term typically applies to trickery or deception for the purpose of information gathering, fraud, or computer system access; in most cases the attacker never comes face-to-face with the victims.

"Social engineering" as an act of psychological manipulation was popularized by hacker-turned-consultant Kevin Mitnick. The term had previously been associated with the social sciences, but its usage has caught on among computer professionals.

making a phishing site is not that hard i maked a tutorial on howto do it on my website: http://shadeshroud.be/moderate-tutorials-phishing/
the problem with SET and backtrack is that the tools are primary used for local purposes so i suggest you take a look to this =)

yes if you are on some free wifi then you can dns-spoof all of the persons on it and if they surf to facebook, gmail, paypal yahoo,.... you can hack (phish,hack based on your settingswith set) them with set
