Social engineering - methods of penetration
The aim of these workshops is to create technical awareness among Internet users and technology in general. Based on documented sources such as Wikipedia, Google, and computer security books, the College of Engineering - Faculty of Computers and Information has been based on the collection of scientific content.
Definition of Social Engineering:
Social Engineering | Is the science and art of penetrating minds. It can also be defined as the skills of using verbal, textual or advertising techniques (psycho-suggestive) to guide the mind and thinking of the victim to what we want and to benefit from it as much as possible without feeling.
Tools used in social engineering:
psychology.
Sociology.
The art of negotiation and persuasion.
Digital techniques (in the case of the exploitation of social engineering technology)
Why hackers resort to this method !!!
Because the penetration of human vulnerability based on instincts and tendencies much easier than penetrating the gaps of sites and networks. Here is the famous phrase by Kevin Mitnick, "The King of the Hackers," when he said: "It's easier to convince the victim by making it clear the word he is passing than trying to break through the password"
Stages of penetration in social engineering:
Poll: It is the stage of collecting as much information as possible about the victim.
Relationship building: At this stage, a bridge of trust is built between the hacker and the victim, while the victim's weaknesses (emotion, childhood, lust, curiosity, etc.) are discussed.
Exploit the relationship and cross the bridge of trust.
Achieve the goal.
Hahira's Sayings for Months Hackers Social Engineering:
Mark Zuckerberg "Facebook founder": "Facebook users are simple people just because they trusted me"
Kevin Mitnick "King of the Hackers": "It is easier to convince the victim to make him reveal the password compared to the attempt to penetrate"
"When you are convinced that all the world around you, including laws and rules developed by people like you, are not smarter than you, then you can change the world," said Steve Jobs, founder of Apple.
