The video tutorial explains how to use social engineering to target machines by creating a payload attached to a JPEG file. It demonstrates using WinRAR to create a self-extracting archive that executes a virus payload when opened. The tutorial shows how to compromise a target machine and establish a remote session, providing a practical example of a Trojan attack.
