One came to light this morning [24 July 2009] called Mind Games: How Social Engineers win your Confidence[1]. It actually brings to mind some techniques that I have heard are used by spy (oops, I mean “intelligence”) agencies in interrogating suspects. I must read too much Daniel Ludlum…
1. Social engineers are confident and in control of the conversation
2. They give you something
