Seth Schulman

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.

Verbinden Sie die Wissenschaft der nonverbalen Kommunikation mit der Kunst des Social Engineering. Social Engineers sind Experten in der Manipulation ihres Gegenübers und wissen, mit welchen Mitteln sie ihr Ziel erreichen können. Mit diesem Buch werden Sie verstehen lernen, was jemand wirklich denkt – auch wenn er Sie etwas anderes glauben lassen möchte. Gleichzeitig lernen Sie, wie Sie Menschen durch Mimik und Gestik dazu bringen, Ihnen zu vertrauen. Christopher Hadnagy, Dr. Paul Ekman und der Fachredakteur Paul Kelly haben sich in diesem Buch zusammengetan, um zu erklären, wie Social Engineering funktioniert und wie Sie sich davor schützen können. Denn Sicherheit bedeutet mehr als die Abwehr von hinterhältigen Angriffen. Vielmehr geht es darum, das Wissen um Social Engineering und Human Hacking so zu nutzen, dass Sie selbst jederzeit Herr der (Kommunikations-)Lage sind.
