In this particularly riveting episode of the show, Jordan Harbinger interviews Chris Hadnagy, author of “Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking” and curator of Social-Engineer.org, THE social-engineering reference on the web.
Chris and Jordan riff on principles of Social Engineering, how many of us use it in our everyday lives without even KNOWING it, and how it can be used for both good and evil.
Illustrating these fascinating concepts are stories of social engineering scams and techniques you’ve heard of in the news, and some you haven’t, including stories from Chris’s job as a “penetration tester” for some of the largest companies in the world.
After this episode, you’ll see why even though you may be smart and your company security air-tight, a determined social engineer can still walk in the front door and clean you out.
Don’t miss this one guys!

Jordan — this was a VERY interesting show. But what was YOUR take-away from it? In some ways, it was the opposite of most of the rest of your podcasts. Generally, I’d say the AOC tactic would be to open up to strangers, assume people to be good and help bring a wider circle into your life. But after hearing this show, I’m about ready to bar the doors again
Well, this is actually in some ways exactly what we do as social dynamists (although it adds an element of deception that we don’t generally employ here at AoC)
-Jordan
Yep. Makes sense. I can see that.
