Description: Christina works as an infosec consultant by day and is a breaker of things by night. She has attended and presented at local and international conferences on social engineering and psychological manipulation and has won highest scoring OSINT report for two years in a row in the DEFCON Social Engineering CTF. She’s an active and passionate contributor in the infosec industry, and a strong believer in user privacy, free expression, and innovation. She also loves cats.
Since security is based on trust in authenticity as well as trust in protection, the weakest link in the security chain is often between the keyboard and chair - we have a natural human willingness to accept someone at his or her word. My talk will focus on the psychological and physical involvement of social engineering, and look at manipulation and social influencing techniques that are able to exploit the behaviour of others - the dangerous, often overlooked aspects of social engineering. Let me tell you first hand stories, let me bend your brain and make you feel uncomfortable. It will examine underhanded, deceptive and abusive tactics which can convince people to perform actions or divulge confidential information and also explore what can be done to prevent this.
