Talk: Deception for pentesters

Talks will be streamed on YouTube and Twitch for free.


Magicians are the most versed at lying and deceptions and pentesters can learn from these years of experience at lying, cheating and misdirection. Suggestion is the original exploit (CVE-000-0001) and, by the end of this talk, attendees should be more comfortable planning and engaging in social engineering.

This 30 minute talk will present key SE concepts, such as suggestion, exploiting cognitive biases, double talk, framing, creating trust and the anatomy of a lie (what works, what doesn't, why less is more), while focusing on practical tips for phishing, social phone engineering and physical intrusion.
