Description

I don't know how exactly this course will change your life. Because it can do it  in many ways, depending on who you are and what you do.

That's why before jumping into it you'd better  read the following details to see your benefits.

Social Engineering nowadays is considered a kind of communicational black magic that forces people to execute any command of a Social Engineer. And when we say Social Engineering, what it comes to mind first is cybercriminals. Yes, social engineering is a part of their dark arsenal but not limited by it. For example, law enforcement uses Social Engineering to catch the bad guys too. In reality, Social Engineering is an essential part of many walks of life, including politics, intelligence and law enforcement, sales and marketing and even personal relationship.

In short, social engineering is hidden influence.

If you work in the security sector, be it cybersecurity, business intelligence, law enforcement, private investigations, etc., the benefits are obvious. Your professional skills will skyrocket, so it pushes your career and gives you a bunch of advantages over your competitors. And reward you with that amazing feeling of satisfaction that comes only when you know that your job performance is outstanding.

But what if you’re not a kind of a security specialist? Fortunately, you can gain even more. Would not it be dreamy if you’ll be able to detect at a glance when people try to conceal something important from you? What about knowing what your competitors are up to? What about easy spotting scammers, criminals and other bad guys hunting for you? What about your friends and loved ones who fear owning up to something? And would you like to know how others covertly elicit your secrets from you —and finally stop this dangerous process?

You’ll be able to do everything from the list after taking this course. In fact, you’ll be able to do much, much more.

In this course, I’ll also teach you a special part of social engineering – unlocking people's secrets. Making people voluntary share their secrets, to be precise. And this is the only way to learn how to keep your secrets safe.

This course is unique. Because unlike many courses on Social Engineering existing on the market, it’s not about technical tools and software. It’s about the essence of Social Engineering: people’s psychology. It’s not about the vulnerabilities of a computer. It’s about vulnerabilities of the human brain -- how it can be attacked and how to protect it.

This course is unique for many other reasons. Firstly, it’s based on my 20 years in psychological security and 12 years in cybersecurity areas experience. In this way, I was privileged to work with brilliant intelligence and law enforcement pros. I’ve learned from them plenty of exclusive useful techniques and tricks that help me in work and life. I share some of these techniques in this course.

More of that, the course is also based on tens of authoritative psychology books and science research. So you’ll not only learn the techniques but deeply understand the patterns behind them and why they work. It gives you a fantastic possibility to create your own techniques precisely suitable for your special circumstances. After learning these principles, spotting scam or phishing of different kinds will become a walk in the park for you let alone revealing secrets

In the first section, you'll learn what is Social Engineering and why it's so effective. You'll discover the main principle that makes Social Engineering almost unbeatable for most people. Then, in Section 2, we'll deep into tactical Social Engineering. You'll find out about various natural vulnerabilities of the human brain and how they can be exploited in seconds.

You'll discover why so many people, including most intellectual ones, fall prey to phishing attacks and give away their bank credentials or infect their computers with their own hands. You'll know sophisticated techniques used by cybercriminals to force their victims to give away their important secrets like passwords and private data. You'll learn how your basic instincts and emotions can be used to play against you and how easily they are triggered.

In Section 3 you'll learn the magic of the effective HUMINT elicitation techniques used by law intelligence agencies, law enforcement, secret agents and other pros of such kind. You'll learn to become a person to whom people want to confide their secrets. In this way, you'll know how to gain trust instantly, grab attention, set emotional bonds and become likable for everyone you want (no exaggeration here!). Then you'll learn some extremely effective time-proven techniques that make people share with you even the darkest secrets. More of that, those people will be obliged to you for providing them with this possibility.

Finally, in Section 4 we'll see how all the techniques we've learned work in the wild. We'll consider three different Social Engineering scenarios. You'll see how an ethical hacker, an intelligence officer, and a police officer can use these techniques to establish their mission of obtaining secrets.

And of course, in the final video, you'll find the answer on how to protect yourself from even the most sophisticated Social Engineering attacks and keep your secrets safe. You'll understand why untrained people can't fight back against a social engineering attack and how to train yourself to never fall prey to a Social Engineer.

And now...imagine yourself, possessing all these skills. Imagine how you apply them and get fantastic results. Imagine yourself as a person who can reveal any secret and... let’s kick off.
