Social engineering relies profoundly on human interaction and often involves the misleading of employees into violating their organization’s security procedures. Humans are naturally helpful, but when it comes to protecting an organization’s security, being helpful to an outsider can do more harm than good.
These slides discuss social engineering, the most common attack methods, and the best means for defending against a social engineering attack.

Social Engineering - Strategy, Tactics, & Case StudiesPraetorian
For many organizations, the human element is often the most overlooked attack vector. Ironically, people are typically one of the easiest vulnerabilities to exploit and an attacker needs little more than a smile or email to completely compromise a company. With targeted attacks on the rise, organizations must understand the risk of social engineering based attacks. The purpose of this presentation is to examine common physical, phone, and Internet based attacks. Real world case studies are included and recommendations are provided that will help mitigate this growing threat.
Praetorian's goal is to help our clients understand minimize their overall security exposure and liability. Through our services, your organization can obtain an accurate, independent security assessment.
7 - Social Engineering and Insider Threats
-- Cyber Security Awareness Training for Non-IT Staff Seminar conducted at KAF Investment, Chulan Tower, Kuala Lumpur
Custodial and non-custodial interviewing and interrogation of criminal suspects to illicit admissions and confessions, leading to full confessions. Very subtle psychological manipulations and deceptions used to twist a suspect into an initial admission and then to twist further to obtain a more condemning admission, and then to manipulate the subject further into a confession, which they would not be able to recant afterwards.
Companies are generally very good at protecting themselves against external attacks, but only rarely do they guard themselves against internal attacks. By using what’s known as ‘Social Engineering’, hackers exploit unsuspecting people who in good faith open up their doors to unwanted strangers.
Social engineering, or SE, is the art of manipulating people into performing actions or so they give up confidential information. Social Engineering can mean different things to different people.

DefCamp #5, Bucharest, November 29th
Just as a chain is as weak as its weakest link, computer systems are as vulnerable as their weakest component – and that’s rarely the technology itself, it’s more often the people using it. This is precisely why it’s usually easier to exploit people’s natural inclination to trust than it is to discover ways to hack into computer systems. As the art of manipulating people into them giving up confidential information, Social Engineering has been a hot topic for many years. This session will discuss some of the most common Social Engineering techniques and countermeasures.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
What is Social Engineering? An illustrated presentation.
1. What is “Social Engineering”?
WHAT IS
SOCIAL ENGINEERING?
Copyright 2016 Integrity Technology Systems, Inc.
All rights reserved. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.
3. Sociology and Psychology
• Study of human behavior, interaction and societal norms.
• Actions can be predicted quite accurately.
• Actions can also be influenced quite easily.
4. Simple Human Behavior
• Two Types of Responses
– Natural
– Learned
Hackers will craft a scenario for you to
enter, in order to elicit a response which
they believe will give them the result
they are looking for.
6. Why talk about
social engineering?
Social engineering is a
component of the attack in
nearly 1 of 3 successful data
breaches, and it’s on the rise.
Source: 2016 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report
8. Dumpster Diving
If not properly discarded, sensitive
information may be discovered by hackers
in waste receptacles and dumpsters.
– Printed emails, expense reports, credit
card receipts, etc.
– Network or application diagrams, device
inventory with IP addressing, etc.
– Notebooks, binders or other work papers
containing sensitive information
9. Pretexting
• Fraudulent phone calls
• Used to extract information
• Also used to setup other attacks such as
facility entry or phishing
10. Phishing
Phishing is the process of crafting
emails that appear to be from a
trusted source and typically invite the
recipient to either supply confidential
information or click on a malicious
link or attachment.
11. Phishing…
Tips For Identifying Phishing
Attempts
– The email asks you to update
account information
– There are unfamiliar layouts/designs
with no verification images
– The email provides unfamiliar
hyperlinks
12. Common Bait
• “Sweet Deals”
– Free Stuff
– Limited Time Offers
– Package Delivery
• Help Me, Help You!
– Tech Support
• You Gotta’ See This!
14. Facility Access - Example
• Piggy backing: A hacker’s method of entering a facility with a
group of employees or maintenance workers
– Identifying unsecure areas: Hackers search for loading docks,
maintenance entrances, designated smoking areas or other locations
that may not be well secured.
Act like you belong. If you believe it, so will everyone else.
15. Enticement - Example
A folder with enticing title/label left
on ground outside an employee
entrance with a USB thumb drive
taped inside.
• USB, CD or DVDs left in conspicuous
spaces
• May be accompanied by fake paper
files
• Curiosity beats caution
Year-End Bonuses
17. Putting It All Together
• Targeted attacks will always use
some form of social engineering
• Just like in military operations,
intel makes or breaks a mission
• Hackers may never even need to
use sophisticated technical attacks
if you provide the information
willingly
18. Don’t Fall for The Long Con
• Social engineering is nothing more than a con-game.
• The old “Long Con” has been ported to the digital world.
• Good cons are hard to spot.
19. Helpful Tips
• Enforce a strong paper destruction process
• Limit facility ingress/egress points
• Challenge unknown people in secure areas
• Implement technology to screen email and websites for
attacks
20. Employee Training
• Prepare for different learning styles (audio, visual, hands-on)
• Engage the employee; make a personal plea
• Use gamification to enhance learning
• Awareness is not training, and training is not awareness
21. Program Validation
• Social engineering testing engagements provide
assessments of how well your people, process, and
technology are functioning.
22. Summary
• Social engineering is here to stay and it’s growing
• Your organization will suffer a data breach due to social
engineering
• The study of human behavior has been used by criminals
for centuries, cybercriminals are no different
• Employees must be trained to spot social engineering and
how to react
