Hello, hi English speakers. I'm now a cyber security expert. Officially I passed an exam
and now I can say I am one. Last time I was asked to hold a talk about social engineering
and I would like to hold it in German just for you. The slides should be in English and
hopefully readable and I hope you get it all. Okay, and I need to be fast because I only
have got five minutes and a live demo and 15 slides. So, I am not sure why this is here.
This is philosophy. There are two ideas of why people do anything for somebody else.
One is everything is self-interested. Everything I do for anybody else is also of self-interest.
It is because it furthers my own career if I do nice things to other people. And the
other thing is all the other way around that I am just produced the way that I will help
other people because that is what people do. And I am happy to do that and if somebody
asks me to do that, I will do that more eagerly. And if I see that it actually helps and I
see there is a need and see how people feel, then I will help other people. Both are actually
true if you think about them for a long time. So, what they have in common is that we support
other people. Hacking is learning about a system just to the extent of spotting the
shortcuts and all abbreviations within and then use them to be more effective than the
people who spend their time inside the system. This is the kind of hacking that is not writing
code but the kind of hacking where you get to your goal and well, easier, faster and
without the hassle of queuing up or buying tickets or anything. The motivation of people
is that people want to help fellow human beings. However you look at it, they want to do that
even more so when they are being asked to do it and even more so if they understand
the feelings and the needs of others. So, people that is not so very much known. People
have operation modes. Even the smartest and most alert people are not smart and alert
all of the time and all people make mistakes. And people make even more mistakes when they
have recently eaten and tried to be active. If they haven't gotten good night's sleep
or if they haven't slept enough. If they are under the influence of some substances.
If they worry about money, that is a really bad thing and so all the poor people in the
world are distracted to a great extent. If they grieve, if they have other strong feelings,
if they are distracted by emotional pressure and I just realized I haven't switched to
German as I promised to do. So, who hasn't understood me so far? Do I have to say it
in German again? All good, right? Okay. Or if you are distracted by noise, by fast
movements, sudden movements, alarm, signals, etc. Also people not only have a operating
system in the frame but also times. Because people are smart and they are as smart and
willing as they are during the day. But not at night, not in the evening. And there is
a day of variation. But I don't know myself that well, that's why I left that out.
So, back to the point. People want to help other people, are smart and are willing.
But depending on the internal and external conditions, they are not always. So, you plan.
You try to be as tough as possible, but also to be very convincing, both in the way you
speak and the way you act. And you try to use these moments when people are not quite
together and not quite as strong. And if necessary, you use any situations from outside
to help you because you distract people so that they decide faster and don't think
about it so well. Okay. How much time have I got? I didn't start my timer. One minute.
So, live demo. Hello, hello, am I at the provider? Yes, that's very important. We have such a
difficult situation. I don't know how to explain it to him. I'm so stressed with the children.
We are standing in front of the door, we are supposed to take over the house. But the landlord
is now making a lot of trouble because we haven't yet transferred the money. And yes,
we have a really difficult situation. We didn't manage it quite well. And now I'm trying
to get into the email account of my husband's laptop all the time. And I can't get in there.
The password I have here, I'm just reading it out loud. That means the round chalk with
the letter E. Yes, but that doesn't work. And that's why I can't get an email. And
without the email I can't do the transfer because it's a two-factor authentication.

In München wurde ich im "Passwörter"-Talk auf Social Engineering angesprochen und habe das abgeblockt, das brauche einen eigenen Talk. Will mich nicht lumpen lassen. Hier also: "Was ist Social Engineering?" und zu meiner eigenen Sicherheit als Lightning Talk.
