RE: Social Engineering ... ?

["Rob Shein" <shoten () starpower net>]

In truth, I wouldn't focus necessarily on it from a geek perspective...I'd
look at it from the standpoint of those who do nothing BUT social engineer,
without the other technical aspects.  This would be sales techniques, and
the methods of grifters, confidence men and intelligence officers.  The last
category is probably a bit harder to get information on, but there are a lot
of things out there both in the worlds of fiction and non-fiction to get you
going on the rest.
