Socially Awkward: Overview of Social Engineering and practical strategies to combat them

Presented at Kiwicon 7: Cyberfriends (2013), Nov. 9, 2013, 4:45 p.m. (30 minutes).

In this presentation I'm going to cover the techniques to hack your fellow Human! I'll tie these into a real life audio example (anonymised of course), showing escalating from no access to an authorised and authenticated user to gain remote access to a internal network by implementing these techniques. I'll also provide practical techniques which can be used to combat them without having to social engineer the bank to fund them!
