Was cheat but i call it art because it has its own beauty. But before you know it or where it is, you should know about its existence first. Many young people ask me if Social Engineering is good or bad, so I would like to dedicate a part of this article to answer the above question.
Social Engineering is good or bad?
Most of us misunderstand the form of Social Engineering. Does that lead to misconceptions about how Social Engineering works? In fact, it always exists around us in many different forms and levels.
Social Engineering can be as simple as lying to distract someone in order to protect them. Or can also be used to turn you into a criminal or a scammer. Whether it is good or bad depends on the purpose of one’s use only !!
I’ve read a lot of research about this scam. It has a lot to do with human psychology. If you really grasp and understand the psychological circuit and combine it with Social Engineering, you are like a ghost. Capable of brainwashing and manipulating anyone you want.
I created AnonyViet with the original purpose of preserving my knowledge. But after a while, I want to share this source of knowledge with the community and hope to receive some support. This series of articles is a collection of all my knowledge and research achievements on Social Engineering.
I teach you to be a professional scammer?
Some people wonder why I’m going teach cheats for everyone? The simple answer is that the literature is heavily researched in this area. If I don’t share, people will find and learn!
Good society does not mean the bad guy will not be born. An increasingly modern security system does not mean that Black Hat Hackers do not exist. Moreover, the technology of cheating and deceiving on the internet is becoming more and more sophisticated. Most of the victims were poisoned by Social Engineering. Those who specialize in using Social Engineering fraud to do bad things are called Malicious Social Engineers.
Imagine, if I don’t provide more knowledge about Social Engineering? How do you know and avoid being led by people and deceived. After reading my series of articles, do you become a smart guy or a guy? Malicious Social Engineers It depends on your perception.
I wrote this series of articles with the purpose security education For most. Knowledge is priceless but at AnonyViet it is free. Please read, learn to know where you are lacking and improve. I hope my knowledge will not make you worse, but will make you better and more sensitive in this troubled society.
Today’s Security Status
Software companies are learning how to increase the security of their software. Hackers are targeting people. Instead of attacking the system’s security weaknesses, they prefer to take the easy route rather than attack the system’s administrator.
Instead, it takes a hacker 100 hours to find a system vulnerability. Then with the Social Engineering scam method, they don’t have to spend a lot of time and effort. That’s why they say, no system is 100% secure!!
Classification of types of Social Engineering (SE)
As I said in the previous content, SE phishing techniques have many different forms. There are dangerous forms, but there are also more friendly ones. Before I teach you scam techniques, you should take some time to understand the different types of Social Engineering first.
Hackers
As noted above, today’s software is increasing security. So Hackers also often use social engineering to gather information before hacking. They often combine hardware hacking skills and SE scamming skills.
Usually, before the attacks, hackers often use the form of social engineering attacks to collect information first. An example is the hacker group Anonymous.
Penetration testers
As penetration testers, they know and understand the skills of a black hat hacker. But do not use other people’s personal information to benefit themselves. Instead, they often detect and help victims protect themselves.
Spies
The spy class uses the Social Engineering scam as a life skill. They are also experts in psychological attacks to steal information. Often they are trained and work for mysterious organizations or military systems on the government side.
Currently, the information about the spy is still quite vague because it is very well hidden. So I don’t have any specific examples that I can give you. But I’m sure, the spies are very good at SE fraud skills to help them blend in and better hide their identities.
Identity Thieves
Thieves intentionally use someone’s real information. Such as name, bank account, address and identity card. This thief is often called identity thief and of course they are good at many aspects of Social Engineering. They often steal information and continue to use it to scam others.
The most typical example is the case of hacking Facebook password and then tricking the phone card of the victim’s friends. There have been many cases where a lot of money was scammed and the victim became very miserable and miserable, but the thieves didn’t seem to mind.
Disgruntled employees
These bad guys often come from employees who are dissatisfied with their superiors but don’t say it. Long-term repression leads to theft, vandalism or fraud for self-seeking and revenge against superiors. This form of metamorphosis is rarely seen in Vietnam.
Scam artist
The nickname Scam artist enough for us to know how dangerous they are. The main purpose of this class is to scam to make money and they usually make a lot of money. These guys have a strong grasp of human psychology, even better than the Spies (spies) I said above.
These artists often poison and manipulate a few people, then learn to use those people to poison the minds of others. Like the church of God is a type Scam artist.
Knowledge summary
So you’ve read through typical forms of Social Engineering in this section. In addition to the above forms, they are also greatly metamorphosed and very diverse. In Vietnam, multi-level status is also a skill that poisons the mind of Social Engineering. The general purpose of all forms of Social Engineering is still to manipulate others to their will.
You have learned more about the basic forms of Social Engineering. In Part 3 I will start talking about how to use Social Engineering as a weapon to manipulate others. Along with that are the techniques that have never been revealed before.
