Undetectable by firewalls and antivirus software, social engineering relies on human fault to gain access to sensitive spaces; in this book, renowned expert Christopher Hadnagy explains the most commonly-used techniques that fool even the most robust security personnel, and shows you how these techniques have been used in the past. The way that we make decisions as humans affects everything from our emotions to our security. Hackers, since the beginning of time, have figured out ways to exploit that decision making process and get you to take an action not in your best interest. This new Second Edition has been updated with the most current methods used by sharing stories, examples, and scientific study behind how those decisions are exploited.u003c/pu003e u003cpu003eNetworks and systems can be hacked, but they can also be protected; when the "system" in question is a human being, there is no software to fall back on, no hardware upgrade, no code that can lock information down indefinitely. Human nature and emotion is the secret weapon of the malicious social engineering, and this book shows you how to recognize, predict, and prevent this type of manipulation by taking you inside the social engineer's bag of tricks.u003c/pu003e u003culu003e u003cliu003eExamine the most common social engineering tricks used to gain accessu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eDiscover which popular techniques generally u003ciu003edon'tu003c/iu003e work in the real worldu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eExamine how our understanding of the science behind emotions and decisions can be used by social engineersu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eLearn how social engineering factors into some of the biggest recent headlinesu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eLearn how to use these skills as a professional social engineer and secure your companyu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eAdopt effective counter-measures to keep hackers at bayu003c/liu003e u003c/ulu003e u003cpu003eBy working from the social engineer's playbook, you gain the advantage of foresight that can help you protect yourself and others from even their best efforts. u003ciu003eSocial Engineeringu003c/iu003e gives you the inside information you need to mount an unshakeable defense.u003c/pu003e
