Social Engineering: Attack, Prevention and Framework
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Social Engineering is the act of breaking security by manipulating users/individuals into divulging confidential information. It uses psychological tricks to gain trust, rather than technical cracking techniques. Social Engineering includes scams such as obtaining a password by pretending to be an employee, leveraging social media to identify new employees more easily tricked into providing customer information, and any other attempt to breach security by gaining trust. This work contains some of the most current scientific, technical and psychological information on the topic of social engineering today. Our goal is to create framework for the security professional to learn, adopt and embed in their information.
