Abstract
In this project, I developed a web application to Educate users on social engineering by testing them with real life scenarios to familiarize them with social engineering tricks. The application is designed using mainly the Java technology, it is designed as a web application so it can run on browsers, as a result, the user interfaces are developed using web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. The application logic is developed using Java beans and Java Servlet. The application is designed using the Model-View-Controller approach (MVC). The data persistent layer is maintained using the MySQL relational database. The simulator developed will help the users easily identify social engineering attacks, this will help in the long-lasting battle against social engineering.
