Comment on How I attacked a fellow studentparent

Comments

Y'know what, I disagree. It's not misleading. Social Engineering _is_ an attack, as far as I am concerned, and honestly when he mentions that it's Social Engineering in the third sentence of the article itself, I don't find it misleading at all.

To the guy who did it: Bloody well done. I agree with guyhelm, it's overkill, and we all know that's the best kind of kill ;)

Social engineering is actually quite scary, especially when put together with targeted attacks against the individual. It's a one-two punch that is very hard to defend against.

I wish the Uni's here in Brisbane would do stuff like that! Well done again, and I'm quite jealous!

Rule 37. There is no "overkill".
