14 sty 2021 · This paper proposes a conceptual model which provides an integrative and structural perspective to describe how social engineering attacks work. Three core entities (effect mechanism, human...
Current documented examples of social engineering attacks do not include all the attack steps and phases. The proposed social engineering attack templates attempt to alleviate the problem of limited documented literature on social engineering attacks by mapping the real-world examples to the social engineering attack framework. Mapping several ...
10 lut 2021 · In this paper, we explore how social engineering experts—for example, hackers, cybersecurity professionals, and institutional stakeholders—imagine possible solutions to the supposed “people problem” in cybersecurity.
1 sty 2022 · Social engineering is a practice that enables attackers to acquire sensitive or confidential information from a user of a system or organization by exploiting specific human characteristics...
1 cze 2016 · This is illustrated by combining the social engineering attack templates with real-world examples to develop social engineering attack scenarios that are mapped to a social engineering attack detection model.
