Hack People Instead of Systems. Social Engineering Basics

IT security is not just about firewalls or antiviruses, it is also about people.

What's Inside

"Amateurs hack systems, professionals hack people." (Bruce Schneier)

To completely understand computer security, it's vital to step outside the fence and to think outside the box. Computer security is not just about firewalls, Intrusion Prevention Systems or antiviruses. It's also about tricking people into doing whatever a hacker wishes, for their benefit. A secure system, network or infrastructure is also about informed people. That's it what about this course is all about. Knowing how easy is for a hacker to make a regular user to do something harmful for himself, even being aware that is making a bit mistake.

This course covers both theoretical and practical aspects and contains hands-on labs.

Disclaimerr: this course is intended for ethical hackers and those who want to protect against this kind of attacks. Those are only theoretical examples in a lab environment. Hacking is illegal without explicit permission!
