A global security expert draws on psychological insights to help you master the art of social engineering-human hacking. Make friends, influence people, and leave them feeling better for having met you by being more empathetic, generous, and kind. Eroding social conventions, technology, and rapid economic change are making human beings more stressed and socially awkward and isolated than ever. We live in our own bubbles, reluctant to connect, and feeling increasingly powerless, insecure, and apprehensive when communicating with others. A pioneer in the field of social engineering and a master hacker, Christopher Hadnagy specializes in understanding how malicious attackers exploit principles of human communication to access information and resources through manipulation and deceit. Now, he shows you how to use social engineering as a force for good-to help you regain your confidence and control. Human Hacking provides tools that will help you establish rapport with strangers, use body language and verbal cues to your advantage, steer conversations and influence other' s decisions, and protect yourself from manipulators. Ultimately, you' ll become far more self-aware about how you' re presenting yourself-and able to use it to improve your life. Hadnagy includes lessons and interactive "missions"-exercises spread throughout the book to help you learn the skills, practice them, and master them. With Human Hacking, you' ll soon be winning friends, influencing people, and achieving your goals.

In 2009, Chris established the world' s first social engineering penetration testing framework, providing an invaluable repository of information for security professionals and enthusiasts. That site grew into a dynamic web resource including a podcast (The Social Engineer Podcast) and newsletter, which have become staples in the security industry. Chris also created "Advanced Practical Social Engineering," the first hands-on social engineering training course and certification for law enforcement, military, and private sector professionals. Chris has been invited to the Pentagon to debrief military and government officials on social engineering and its national security implications. As founder and CEO of Social-Engineer, LLC, he helps global companies and governments test their secure facilities to expose vulnerabilities and keep them safe from bad actors. A highly sought-after writer and speaker, he has spoken at events such as RSA and Black Hat and given numerous presentations for corporate and government clients. He is the bestselling author of four technical books for security professionals: Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking, Unmasking the Social Engineer: The Human Element of Security, Phishing Dark Waters: The Offensive and Defensive Sides of Malicious Emails, and Social Engineering: The Science of Human Hacking, 2nd Edition.
