I Saw Myself As An Electronic Joy

As A Young Boy, I Was Taught In High School That Hacking Was Cool.

Social Engineering Is Using Deception, Manipulation And Influence To Convince A Human Who Has Access To A Computer System To Do Something, Like Click On An Attachment In An E-mail.

I Believe In Having Each Device Secured And Monitoring Each Device, Rather Than Just Monitoring Holistically On The Network, And Then Responding In Short Enough Time For Damage Control.

Both Social Engineering And Technical Attacks Played A Big Part In What I Was Able To Do. It Was A Hybrid. I Used Social Engineering When It Was Appropriate, And Exploited Technical Vulnerabilities When It Was Appropriate.

I Can Go Into Linkedin And Search For Network Engineers And Come Up With A List Of Great Spear-phishing Targets Because They Usually Have Administrator Rights Over The Network. Then I Go Onto Twitter Or Facebook And Trick Them Into Doing Something, And I Have Privileged Access.
