The Eleventh HOPE (2016): "Social Engineering" (Download)
Saturday, July 23, 2016: 9:00 pm (Lamarr): Since 1994, we’ve had a lot of fun with this panel, where we not only share stories of some of our most memorable social engineering adventures of years past, but we try and create some new memories live on stage over a good old-fashioned telephone line. For those not familiar, social engineering is the art of getting information out of people, information that you usually have absolutely no business possessing. The ability to gain a stranger’s trust, knowing what to ask for, and (perhaps most importantly) how to deal with failing miserably are all vital skills in the pursuit of unauthorized information. This panel is open to suggestion on targets to try, as well as open to new panelists who want to share their stories and skills. Leave your info at the information desk. (Be sure to include your Social Security number and mother’s maiden name.)
