Social Engineering Quick Tips - 2
In my first article, I mentioned some of the preparations to be made. Now let's continue where we left. In this article, I will also talk about some preparations and measures that will be useful for you when doing social engineering.
Virtual Identity:
When you talk to a group of people, the less people know about you, the better for you. That's why when you're going to talk to your victim or planning social engineering for someone, you shouldn't speak with your own name. You must create a fake name, family, city, interests, etc.
If you want to do a little more advanced work, your job will be easier if you use the most common names where you live. Because following and watching someone we meet on social media is a very common thing today. Since you will use the most commonly used names, it will be difficult to understand that you are fake, as there will be a lot of social media accounts belonging to that name.
The most common problem when using virtual identity is out of personality. Remember, you have to forget yourself and pretend like someone else. If you dont pretend, all your efforts will be wasted.
Tip: Keep reminding yourself of that.
Voice Tone and Body Language:
According to researches, communication is not just about words. Words only cover a 10% of communication. Body language covers 60% and voice tone 30%. In this case, if you want to make the victim do what you say or convey your opinion to him, you should adjust your body language and tone of voice well. There is more than one way to say a sentence. When you say that sentence cheerful, sad and normal, you will understand the difference very clearly. It's important that you can give the feeling you want. Because people like to act on their feelings. If you direct them, you will get what you want.
All this should not be understood as usage of words not important. If you don't choose the right words, things won't go well again, but remember that the effect is minimal and the other side is where you need to focus.
Changing Subject:
The person you are talking to may ask questions that you are not prepared for or do not want. In this case, you have to change the subject without giving any notice to the other party. There are 2 things to pay attention to. First, answer the victim's question in a simple way. Because if you don't answer and move directly to another topic, their mind will remain there. We dont want that. The other is when changing the topic, choose something relevant so that it is not understood that you intentionally want to change the topic.
Summary:
It's good to learn these theoretically, but you can't get used to it without training. It is very important to rehearse with yourself. Virtual identity is your most important tool. Without it shouldnt do social engineering. Your work will be easier.
