Agenda:

  • Where do the threats originate, who is affected? Creation of an individual threat landscape

  • Legal and ethical aspects in the deployment of Social Engineering

  • Learning modules on the following topics:
    • Creation of false identities
    • Research on the WWW via Deep Web Search, OSINT tools and Social Media
    • Bypassing access controls and barriers
    • Vulnerability identification and attack tactics
    • WLAN hacking with various tools
    • Hacker USB and LAN tools
    • Spear phishing
    • Vishing and role playing

  • Analysis of own attackability and defense options

Objectives:

The focus lies alongside conveying the fundamental ethical and legal framework conditions on the development of an understanding of attack techniques. Through this, you gain a new perspective on your attack surface and are able to optimize awareness programs for your requirements and implement defensive measures.

Target audience:

  • IT Security Management
  • Penetration Tester
  • Red and Blue Teamer
  • CISOs

Prerequisites:

IT professionals with little to moderate Social Engineering know-how

Description:

Learn how modern social engineering attack tools are deployed and develop a better understanding of your own attack vectors. The course focuses on establishing an understanding of the capabilities and threats of social engineering and thus strengthening security awareness in the enterprise as a whole.

The hands-on part of the seminar demonstrates deployment methods of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT, Google™ Dorking, human risk assessment), psychological manipulation technologies, manipulative WLAN and LAN tools, as well as the execution of physical computer attacks with keyloggers and the Hak5 Bash Bunny.

Furthermore, expand your knowledge of techniques from tailgating through classic lock-picking to RFID spoofing using Flipper Zero and which common methods for bypassing physical access controls are frequently employed.

Expand your knowledge with skills for practical application in the advanced course SC305 Social Engineering Practitioner.
