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.' | Many projects have "Frequently Asked Questions" documents or pages. However, the point of such a document is not the questions.

The OWASP SE - Social Engineering ProjectThis 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:
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. DescriptionAlmost 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

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. PresentationSorry, no presentation so far. Project Leader
