Hands-on cybersecurity sessions, led by practitioners.
Hacking the human mind, psychology, awareness & digital footprints.
The weakest link in any security system isn't the code, it's people. This session breaks down the psychology behind social engineering, the full attack lifecycle from pretexting to real-world case studies, and modern tactics like AI deepfakes and manufactured urgency, ending with a live audience decode challenge.
Trust, authority bias and emotional triggers, plus the three pillars: observation, self-awareness and reflection.
Pretexting, OSINT and recon, rapport-building, and real-world case studies including physical infiltration.
AI and deepfakes, social proof, manufactured urgency, anchoring, and alter-ego personas.
Reading people, the ethics of social engineering, a live audience decode challenge and a closing CTF announcement.
