Hacking your Mind and Emotions
summary
Demonstrates concrete social‑engineering attacks and defenses: remote phishing that hijacks PBX backdoors to route calls then sends 1800‑number smishing; leaving bait (USB/CD) in parking lots to get malware; building a fake site (swampcolo) that lures bank staff and delivers a backdoor; using Maltego for recon and Hydra to brute‑force web credentials; spoofing caller ID and badges (Xerox badge rings a spouse) to validate access. Covers counts (hundreds of SMS responses), a $10,000 charity check cashed, and practical mitigations and scripts.
