The art of using social networks to fuck with people.

Using groups in Skype, Twitter, MySpace etc to assemble a collection of explosively matched personality types, then purposely egging them on for personal entertainment.

So I read about the blowup in yesterday's chat. Were you responsible for that bit of social engineerking?

Today's inner city slums are largely the work of zoning laws passed by segregationists working at the local and state government level. Those institutions were used to socially engineer neighborhoods in a clean and comfortable environment for one group of individuals and a living space zoned alongside industrial centers and other hazards for another group of individuals.

social engineering 

1. The use of communication skills and quick wits in order to turn a scenario into a favorable situation

2. A practice used by crackers and black hats in order to gain sensitive information needed in order to compromise security by using techniques such as eavesdropping on conversations or posing as tech support

1. You are at a fancy restaurant and have just finished eating. The waiter comes to take your plate, but as he picks it up, you use slight of hand and manuevering to make it appear as if the waiter has dropped the plate (and the food residue on it) all over your shirt. You complain angrily, call for the manager, et al. The manager winds up giving you the meal for free.

2. You, as a black hat, walk up to a smoke break outside of a company who you want to steal credit card numbers for. Employees are whining about their randomized passwords. You memorize one of them, and then go off with that information in order to gain access into the company firewall.

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.

social engineering 

The art of hacking people rather than computers. Most of the time it's easier than hacking computers because people are so stupid that you can just ask them for passwords and credit card information and they'll give it to you!

Me: Hello, Mr. Adamson? Yes, I need your credit card number, email address and password.

Mr. A: Ok, the number is 4318-6413...
