The OWASP SE - Social Engineering Project

This project has the purpose of documenting "Social Engineering" with open accessible and valid data about relevant topics and related questions.

Some of these questions are:

  • What is Social Engineering?
  • Is it malicious manipulation of people?
  • Is it influencing people in everyday circumstances?
  • What about ethics, are there any?


As a platform under OWASP we are free and independent, connecting to researchers and discussing valid data.

Let's start to document the unexplored areas of "people and security" (hic sunt dragones) on the world map of security research with knowledge and affiliated areas.

Description

Almost everywhere nowadays, the almost "mythical power" of Social Engineering is a prominent topic in discussions and often uttered in awe.

Could it be, that it is just a vague concept on purpose? Cherry picking successful exploitation of people. Perhaps just like snake oil?

Also interesting, is it becoming a type of brand?

Let's collect material and questions for an exploration and produce results like a cheat sheet: "what we know" and "what we don't know"

Licensing

  • We ourselves take care not to infringe any copyrights, so you can enjoy open accessible information.
  • All this is supposed to support you, in the spirit of the initial "O" for Open in OWASP.

What is the OWASP SE - Social Engineering Project?

Basically a platform connecting and collecting researchers and data to shed light upon hearsay about Social Engineering or manipulation of people.

As a dedicated team of volunteers, we (yes your are invited) might be able to produce a knowledge base and references for interested people.
