Comment on How I attacked a fellow student

Comments

I felt pretty bad for the target. Even though he was fairly warned, and knew to expect social engineering attacks, you could see he was quite excited about the potential opportunity at X co; else he wouldn't have put so much energy into that looong email exchange. Poor, guy. But good lesson, I suppose.

I just posted the targets response when he found out. He was very gracious.

What a fantastic course, and a great show of character from Mr. Target. Hat tips all round.
