Christopher Hadnagy je jedan od pionira socijalnog inženjeringa – skupa metoda i alata koji su razvijeni specifično da potaknu ljude da naprave nešto što inače ne bi, bilo u dobre ili loše svrhe. Specifično, ovo područje je nastalo iz računalne (informatičke) sigurnosti, gdje su rani hakeri kao Christopher iskorištavali nove mogućnosti u komunikaciji elektroničkim sredstvima, te povjerenje i nesnalaženje u istima od strane korisnika, da bi dolazili do inače povjerljivih informacija ili lokacija. Kasnije se ovo područje razvilo u cjelokupan set usluga i alata koji se u pozitivne svrhe koristi kada korporacije žele testirati koliko su otporne na napade koji uključuju iskorištavenje njihovih djelatnika. Christopher je kreirao prvu zaokruženu edukaciju o ovome, autor je knjiga Social-Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking, Unmasking the Social Engineer: The Human Element of Security, Phishing Dark Waters, te Social Engineering: The Science of Human Hacking.

Hrvatski: Christopher Hadnagy je jedan od pionira socijalnog inženjeringa - skupa metoda i alata koji su razvijeni specifično da potaknu ljude da naprave nešto što inače ne bi, bilo u dobre ili loše svrhe. Specifično, ovo područje je nastalo iz računalne (informatičke) sigurnosti, gdje su rani hakeri kao Christopher iskorištavali nove mogućnosti u komunikaciji elektroničkim sredstvima, te povjerenje i nesnalaženje u istima od strane korisnika, da bi dolazili do inače povjerljivih informacija ili lokacija. Kasnije se ovo područje razvilo u cjel0kupan set usluga i alata koji se u pozitivne svrhe koristi kada korporacije žele testirati koliko su otporne na napade koji uključuju iskorištavenje njihovih djelatnika. Christopher je kreirao prvu zaokruženu edukaciju o ovome, autor je knjiga Social-Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking, Unmasking the Social Engineer: The Human Element of Security, Phishing Dark Waters, te Social Engineering: The Science of Human Hacking. S gostom ove epizode je razgovarao Saša dok je polazio upravo opisanu edukaciju u SAD-u. English: Christopher Hadnagy is one of social engineering pioneers. This is a set of methods and tools developed specifically to induce people into doing an action they otherwise wouldn't - for better or for worse. Specifically, this field is an offshoot of IT security, where early hackers such as Christopher have exploited new opportunities in electronic communications technologies, the combination of users' trust and confusion with them, to gain access to confidential information and locations. Social engineering has later been developed into a comprehensive set of services and tools which are being used by the good guys when corporations wish to test their resilience to security attacks which involve exploiting their workforce. Christopher is the creator of the first all-around training course on the subject, and has authored several books: Social-Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking, Unmasking the Social Engineer: The Human Element of Security, Phishing Dark Waters, te Social Engineering: The Science of Human Hacking. This interview was conducted by Sascha while attending the Advanced Practical Social Engineering Training course with Christopher in Orlando, Florida. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN4W90IrYKQ Teme razgovora: 00:45 - Saša: Chris likes me! 01:15 - Chris is a famous name in social engineering 02:00 - When did the term 'social engineering' come to you 03:20 - I have a specific set of skills... 05:00 - 'Well... I'll run your business for you!' 07:30 - A weird path led me to figure out what my skills are 08:20 - I get bored really fast. When there is no more challenge or opportunity to learn - I'm done. 10:51 - Everything is learnable if you have the right motivation and a right teacher 12:30 - Little goals in conversations with people in everyday life 13:25 - Is social engineering good or bad? 14:30 - I focus my business on influence 16:30 - Where does the term 'social engineering' come from? 17:30 - Emotions disables the rational centres - and this is when I try to make an influence 19:00 - Access the network through the building and through the people 20:45 - It feels good when you change someone's perception and they feel good and proud about it 22:15 - Experiences with writing books 24:30 - There is always going to be people that love you and there is always going to be people that hate you - interact with both and take most out of it 27:00 - Someone does something amazing even though they are nervous with it every time 28:50 - If I find people falling for phishing emails, the company must agree in advance not to fire them 30:30 - It's better to praise the good ones and train the bad ones than it is to shame the bad ones and do nothing for the good ones 31:30 - There must be ethics in social engineering 33:30 - We build relationships with our clients
