 	Many projects have "Frequently Asked Questions" documents or pages. However, the point of such a document is not the questions. ''The point of a document like this are the '''answers'''''. The document contains the answers that people would otherwise find themselves giving over and over again. The idea is that rather than laboriously compose and post the same answers repeatedly, people can refer to this page with pre-prepared answers. Use this space to communicate your projects 'Frequent Answers.'

 Web applications like social media etc. are one of the most important tool as well as targets harming users.
-What is the goal? Discuss, evaluate and provide easy to use methods and sound context. for maliciously intended Social Engineering. And most everyone will be able to share thoughts and experiences about this catchall phrase "Social Engineering". So let's put our heads together to provide countermeasures and basic procedures.
