Listen In: Live Social Engineering Phone Calls with Professional Social Engineers « Null Byte :: WonderHowTo

This is the first official announcement for a new weekly activity on Null Byte for the community to participate in. Starting next week, depending on how much traffic we get doing it, we are going to start doing live social engineering calls via Skype. I've made a list below so that you can get a feel for some of things we'll try to accomplish in these calls.Common Goals of Social Engineering CallsScoring needy people free foodManipulating and extending warrantiesContracting and haggling cheap services (just for practice)Tricking businesses into revealing personal information about customersLeading retail companies on for a sale to try to reduce prices as low as possibleI hope that these calls will serve as a first-hand guide for everyone to learn more about social engineering. This will serve as a very rare link from the small underground world of the "Fone Phreaks" to you, in hopes of teaching you how a professional social engineer manipulates the human mind to their advantage with ease. This includes what fake names statistically work best, which scenarios, accents the manipulator uses and more.RequirementsSkype accountAn IRC clientHow Does This Work?Every Monday night, until we feel like stopping, you can join the IRC channel for an invite to a Skype room filled with professional social engineers! If you're new to IRC, gohereto learn how to set it up and use it. If you attend IRC and show interest, you will receive an invite to the chat and conference.When Does It Start?Every Monday starting5 p.m. PST(8 p.m. EST). If you need to convert the time to another time zone, just go to theTime Zone Converter.PLEASE,arrive on time.You will be left out if you do not arrive on time.GoalsI hope for this to teach you all about the threats and uses of social engineering in the real world. Upon finishing each call, we can post them to YouTube so the rest of the community can hear the devious tactics that went down.You are free to try a call if you think you are up to it. You will see some really intense stuff and it's not for the faint of heart. Be prepared to hear businesses you interact with often gleefully handing out your personal information on a whim to a person without identity.Feel free to sign up for calls below.Be a Part of Null Byte!Post to theforumsChat onIRCFollow onTwitterCircle onGoogle+Want to start making money as a white hat hacker?Jump-start your hacking career with our2020 Premium Ethical Hacking Certification Training Bundlefrom the newNull Byte Shopand get over 60 hours of training from cybersecurity professionals.Buy Now (90% off) >Other worthwhile deals to check out:97% off The Ultimate 2021 White Hat Hacker Certification Bundle99% off The 2021 All-in-One Data Scientist Mega Bundle98% off The 2021 Premium Learn To Code Certification Bundle62% off MindMaster Mind Mapping Software: Perpetual LicenseImage viawashingtonechoRelatedHow To:Learn the Secrets of PsychologyHack Like a Pro:How to Spear Phish with the Social Engineering Toolkit (SET) in BackTrackHow To:Use Social Engineering to Find Out More Information About a CompanyHow To:Use Social Engineering to Hack ComputersHack Like a Pro:The Ultimate Social Engineering HackSocial Engineering:How to Use Persuasion to Compromise a Human TargetHow To:Use "SET", the Social-Engineer ToolkitSocial Engineering:The Most Powerful HackListen In:Live Social Engineering Phone Calls with Professional Social Engineers (Week 2)Listen In:Live Social Engineering Phone Calls with Professional Social Engineers (Final Session)Social Engineering, Part 1:Scoring a Free Cell PhoneNews:Live Social EngineeringHow To:Proof of Social Engineering Success!Weekend Homework:How to Become a Null Byte Contributor (2/17/2012)How To:Score Free Game Product Keys with Social EngineeringXbox LIVE Achievement:How to Earn Free Microsoft Points with Social EngineeringHow To:Social Engineer Your Way Into an Amusement Park for FreeSocial Engineering, Part 2:Hacking a Friend's Facebook PasswordNews:Google social web engineer Joseph Smarr talks about lessons from Google+Social Engineering:The BasicsHow To:recognize Crowd Control - Part 1Weekend Homework:How to Become a Null Byte Contributor (2/10/2012)How To:The Social Engineer's Guide to Buying an Expensive LaptopNews:Social Hacking and Protecting Yourself from Prying EyesHow To:Social Engineer Your Debt Collectors Into Giving You More Time to Pay BillsHow To:Advanced Social Engineering, Part 1: Exact Revenge on Craigslist Scammers with Tabnab PhishingHow To:Unban Your Xbox LIVE Account That is Banned Until 12/31/9999 by Tricking Microsoft's Banning SystemNews:Top 13 Google Insiders to Follow on Google+News:Engineering Degree Program TipsHow To:The Official Google+ Insider's Guide IndexNews:Welcome to the Google+ Insider's Guide!News:UET,lahore,pakistanDrive-By Hacking:How to Root a Windows Box by Walking Past It
