Formal Social Engineering Methodology Released

[Particle Bored <particle.bored () kgb to>]

Social engineering has been around for tens of thousands of years so it 
is time we approach the topic in a professional manner. The Social 
Engineering Vulnerability Evaluation and Recommendation (SEVER) Project 
is one way to help penetration testers become more consistent.  I also 
intend for it to be the best way to teach novices about social 
engineering concepts.

It consists of two parts, the worksheet and the instructions.

The worksheet is designed to make social engineering fun for the whole 
family. Just answer the questions and then go do it.

I know you have probably never read instructions before but you should 
read these. In order to keep the form concise this is where I put all of 
the explanations and examples. In them I introduce several new concepts 
so if you try to do the form alone then you will fail.

Both are available from the "My Papers" section of http://www.kgb.to or 
directly from the following links:

Suggestions are welcome -- just let me know if I can credit you by name 
and what name you would like me to use.

Thanks,

Particle Bored
