In Part I, Modern Social Engineering - A Vital Component of Pen Testing (http://www.ethicalhacker.net/content/view/242/2/)Chris Nickerson & Mike Murray adeptly covered the generalities of Social Engineering, and how it is a repeatable process perfect for inclusion in penetration testing. So let’s go a little deeper into crafting these attacks. What are some of the tricks of the verbal trade that make people far more likely to fall prey to those phishing attacks or that fraudulent web site? What tools can I use to test and eventually utilize to attack… er… audit my target organization? This 1-hour webcast dives deeper into the process of Electronic SE (eSE) and offers real-world examples of combining the skills of the social engineer with the toolkit of the ethical hacker.

So, please mark your calendars and join us for this continuing series on Social Engineering. You can also meet all of us and many more industry experts at ChicagoCon (http://www.chicagocon.com), the World's Only Ethical Hacking Conference. And at only $100 for 2 days on May 8 - 9 with talks, CtF, breakout sessions, food, swag and more, it's a steal!

Join world-renowned social engineers, Chris Nickerson of TruTV's Tiger Team and noted expert and international speaker, Mike Murray, as they prepare you for the future of pen testing. This webcast on Thursday April 30, 2009 at 12:00 Noon CDT continues your education in the world of "Modern Social Engineering."

My Question is:

is there any industry accepted methodology to audit an organization (specially peoples of an org) against social engineering attack?

Standing by for extended Q/A.  Don't see any additional questions posted.  There was great poiinter during the event to say where the follow-up would be; but once the web even closed, the pointer was gone.  Apologies if something is going on and I cannot connect to it.  dr
