If you check out the Penetration Testing MindMap available at:
http://www.vulnerabilityassessment.co.uk/Penetration%20Test.html

You will find a Social Engineering section with some good example
scenarios and advice.

Thanks,

Hello list;

I am currently doing research on Social Engineering Attacks. Unlike the
technical hack, I found that there is few useful and well documented SE
attack examples on the Internet. So I decided to create a data set for
SE attacks, and I am willing to publish it for free on the Internet.

However, I think only my own experience would not be able to make this
dataset as comprehensive as possible. So I would like to ask for help on
this list. If you think you have SE attack examples, you can email me.
Of course for confidential reason you should not use the real name in
your example. If you don't mind I will also publish your name along with
the example you provided. Thanks a lot in advance. I hope this could be
a step forwards in protecting against SE attacks.
