| Summary: | This book gives the practical methodology needed to plan and execute a social engineering penetration test and assessment. It has insights into how social engineering techniques--including email phishing, telephone pretexting, and physical vectors--can be used to elicit information or manipulate individuals into performing actions that may aid in an attack. Using the book's easy-to-understand models and examples, the reader will have a much better understanding of how best to defend against these attacks. The authors show hands-on techniques they have used at RandomStorm to provide clients with valuable results that make a real difference to the security of their businesses. The book shows how to use widely available open-source tools to conduct pen tests and the practical steps to improve defense measures in response to test results. -- Edited summary from book |
