Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking

Has it ever happened that a person called you and introduced himself as a bank employee? Or did you receive a letter with a link that, fortunately, you did not follow? The technologies by which attackers try to gain access to your passwords or data are based on social engineering, the science of the sophisticated and aggressive manipulation of human behavior. She uses a whole arsenal of tools: pressure on pity, the ability to powder her brains or piss her off, show unusual greed and put her in an awkward position, cause feelings of guilt or shame, and much more. Becoming victims of deception, we are not only at risk ourselves, but we can also greatly let down our colleagues and loved ones. Christopher Hadnagy, world-renowned social engineer, will teach you how to recognize manipulation of all types and counter fraudsters of all stripes. No one else will be able to force you to do what you did not plan to do - part with money, give out important information, take dangerous actions. All of the examples Hadnagy gives are taken from his personal and professional practice.
