Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: thought provoking, eye opener into the vulnerable human mind - Social engineering is used everyday, in every aspect of our life, without us even knowing at times! Not just by con men, hackers etc but sales reps, doctors, parents employers, teachers. Knowing and playing on human emotions is very powerful tool and can be used to manipulate people to do actions they normally would not do. The human brain is the CPU and hard-drive combined and this can be overloaded (human buffer attack) and manipulated by emotion triggering (which can be triggered by just bringing back a memory in the brain good/bad). Whether over the phone or in person (facial muscles perform certain twitches for every emotion, anyone watched Lie to Me?) the human is always open to attack. This book covers a wide range of topics, from how we use social engineering day to day in our personal lives, how the media/businesses use this globally and tests/case studies used by trained pentesters/social engineer auditors simply to just open peoples eyes to see this, its almost like our eyes are closed to all these techniques, as mostly done subconsciously. Would highly recommend having a read. I do believe the book is aimed at non-technical computer readers (as author really explains technical terms in layman) however even as a technical person this book still is very enjoyable read. It's all good breaking computer systems/networks but having the extra ability to break humans into giving you faster, direct, powerful entry is even more astonishing . This skill can be applied in every area of life, not just digitally, to ensure you are never ripped off (be it a sales man/media advertisements etc) and also helps you protect your family, work, business, investments, money and future as you will not be easily manipulated by this technique when you are aware. Review: Social Engineering Portal - A book containing the entire body of knowledge pertaining to Social Engineering is going to run to several volumes. Its such a wide subject encompassing a huge variety of topics that a single volume just isn't going to be able to cover them all in inordinate detail; even Microsoft canned Encarta when the Internet took off :). I therefore picked up this book hoping to gain an oversight into the field of Social Engineering, learn the most important aspects of it, and hopefully pick up some references for future study. It delivered on my expectations in spades. It first establishes the framework of social engineering, something that I think is incredibly important. Yes you can learn individual elements but without understanding where they sit in a framework (where they are most prudent, what inputs you need and what outputs you can expect) you limit your overall effectiveness as/understanding of a social engineer. It then proceeds to take you through each of the elements in turn, delivering a precis and expanding on specific salient points. Every section is accompanied with copious references for further research and its clear that the author is intimately familiar with his material. Moreover, its also clear that he has a passion for the subject matter and this comes across well in the book. Although written in a slight slant towards penetration testing, the author goes to great lengths to point out that in order to defend against something you need to understand how, where, and when someone will attack. Its something of an Infosec pastiche, but the Sun-Tzu quote "Know thine enemy better than one knows thyself" certainly applies here. As someone on the defence side, this book is invaluable in understanding how someone may use these techniques against us and should be a mandatory read for anyone tasked with creating an infosec program that really works. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 961,948 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1,265 in Web Administration 3,450 in Computer Science (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (379) | | Dimensions | 15.24 x 2.36 x 22.86 cm | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0470639539 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0470639535 | | Item weight | 472 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 410 pages | | Publication date | 17 Dec. 2010 | | Publisher | John Wiley &Sons | ## Images ![Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pXnVZWo5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ thought provoking, eye opener into the vulnerable human mind *by D***6 on 26 January 2014* Social engineering is used everyday, in every aspect of our life, without us even knowing at times!

Worth a read more than once I would say. ## Frequently Bought Together - Social Engineering - Social Engineering: The Science of Human Hacking - The Pentester BluePrint: Starting a Career as an Ethical Hacker --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/51837720-social-engineering-the-art-of-human-hacking](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/51837720-social-engineering-the-art-of-human-hacking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
