Engineering major

1. A major that many college students choose because it sounds cool and because they think they'll be making 100k a year after graduation. Most of them change their minds after failing Gen. Chem I and/or Calc I in the first semester. Those who do graduate realize their mistake when they realize that no matter how talented they are they'll have to start at the bottom for some company making 40k a year and work their way up just like any other hard working person.

2. A major that emphasizes way too much math and physics that will rarely be applied to a real world situation and not enough foreign language study, which would actually be useful.

3. aka Sausage fest.

Freshman Engineer 1: "I'm a mechanical engineering major. I heard they make like 100k to start

Other major Student 2: "Some of them do make good money, but engineering is a alot of work. Are you good at math?"

Freshman 1: "LOL no, I hate math. I'm a mechanical engineering major btw. Wha's your major?"

Other major student 2: Biochemistry.

Freshman 1: "Lame. You should do biomedical engineering. You'll make more money. The world needs more engineers you know."

Student 2: "True the world does need more engineers. Can you speak any foreign languages?"

Freshman 1: "LOL no I'm a mechanical engineering major. Not a lame communication major. Everyone should just learn English if they want to communicate with us."

Student 2: I'm sure you'll get far with that attitude.

Freshman 1: Woah bro, calm down. We got off on the wrong foot. Come to my party tonight and i'll make it up to you. It's an Engineering major only party, but i'll make an exception for you.

Student 2: No thanks, I hate sausage fests.

Racist social Engineering

1. Racist Social Engineering is the racially charged abuse of media power to negatively shape biases against an entire group of people through repeated negative portrayals or tropes of that group of people.

2. Repeated negative or unfavorable portrayals aimed at distorting the image of an entire group of people

3. Propaganda aimed at shaping negative biases towards a group of people through consistent unfavorable portrayals

Several examples of racist social engineering, that also include sexual racism is the current systematic defeminization or masculinization of black women in media. The successful Systematic esmasculization of Asian men in media that negatively affects how Asian men navigate this society and dating world till this day. Black men were also targeted with emasculating propaganda aimed at downplaying the image of their masculinity. Racist social engineering can also negatively affect religious ethnic groups. An example of this Is that after 9/11, American media was bombarded with Anti-Muslim propaganda aimed at painting Muslim people as a menace to American society and as terrorists. You would commonly see muslims portrayed as terrorists inside of television shows and American movies, to instill fear and negative biases towards muslims in the subconscious minds of the masses. This type of propaganda negatively affects how the targeted group of people navigate the society, as negative biases are intentionally shaped against them.

social engineering

Social Engineering is used primarily in the cracking world. These previous defintions talking about free drinks etc IS NOT social engineering. That is a con or scam. Social Engineering is a art form. It is the ability to gain peoples trust and using that information for your own nefarious purposes. Social Engineering can range from the most mundane to elaborate ruses. It can be someone asking a another person for their password or it can be someone pretending to be a a employee of a trusted company to get access to something. Keep in mind the ultimate goal is to get access to something. People are not stupid which is why social engineering came about. A usual direct question to someone for a password or login is going to give you a no answer. However when applying social engineering you would be calling or speaking to this person under the premise that you work for the helpdesk or the telephone co. You temporarily befriend this person get their guard down then get the information you need. Kevin Mitnick was a master of Social of Engineering.

I was able to use Social Engineering with Joe by pretending to work for the Phone Company. I called him and was able to get the employee login list.

I made a fake badge for a tech firm and was able to social engineer my way into the datacenter where I got access to some servers where I was able to install a backdoor.
