This paper proposes a theoretical solution to the problem of Social Engineering (SE) attacks perpetrated over the phone lines. As a byproduct real time attack signatures are generated, which can be used in a cyber forensic analysis of such attacks. Current methods of SE attack detection and prevention rely on policy and personnel training, which fails because the root of the problem, people, ar...

Social engineering is deeply entrenched in the fields of both computer science and social psychology. Knowledge is required in both these disciplines to perform social engineering based research. Several ethical concerns and requirements need to be taken into account when social engineering research is conducted to ensure that harm does not befall those who participate in such research. These c...
