WISP - DEF CON Prep

Social Engineering Workshop

SF

Description:

Welcome to the SECTF WISP DEF CON Prep Series! Get ready for the DEF CON Social Engineering Village with this talk and hands-on mini OSINT CTF!

The majority of cyber attacks start with the human element. This workshop outlines real-world social engineering examples, and seemingly innocuous information that could compromise a company. Learn the methods social engineers use to mine data and exploit behavior to own targets, and how women are uniquely skilled as attackers - from a woman who was a winner of the competition for the last 3 years in a row!

NOTE: If you would like to participate in the mini OSINT CTF we encourage you to bring a laptop. Participation is possible from a phone or tablet but using a laptop is easiest for our participants.
