General Discussion

Welcome to the Social-Engineer Framework. This is a work in progress, and will continue to be updated as attack methods adapt and change with the times. We feel it contains some of the most current scientific, technical and psychological information on the topic of social engineering today. Our goal is to create a repository of information for the security professional, penetration tester or enthusiast to learn and be armed with the most commonly used attack vectors today.
