Summary:

( 虽然是和计算机相关的书籍，但是，我觉得『社会工程学』这种东西归类于『心理学』更合适，它是基于预定目标的各种心理弱点（好奇、贪婪、信任等）而进行各种手段，以获取利益。)

　　The first book to reveal and dissect the technical aspect of many social engineering maneuvers.

From elicitation, pretexting, influence and manipulation all aspects of social engineering are picked apart, discussed and explained by using real world examples, personal experience and the science behind them to unraveled the mystery in social engineering.

Kevin Mitnick—one of the most famous social engineers in the world—popularized the term “social engineering.” He explained that it is much easier to trick someone into revealing a password for a system than to exert the effort of hacking into the system. Mitnick claims that this social engineering tactic was the single-most effective method in his arsenal. This indispensable book examines a variety of maneuvers that are aimed at deceiving unsuspecting victims, while it also addresses ways to prevent social engineering threats.
