About this video
Ever wanted to get into Social Engineering (SE), but thought you needed to know body language, facial expressions, be charming, and outgoing to succeed? This is a common misconception and you don’t need to know or be those things to make a start in SE. I think most SE talks focus on the more technical “human” aspects and I’m purposefully ignoring that side.
I’m going to focus on the basics; how to perform reconnaissance, how to match dress styles, how to make up a pretext that fits your knowledge, how to get real staff to help you, what to do if you do get in, why you should interact with staff, and why you should practice being observant. These are important tools to learn and use, which can help you make a start in social engineering.
