Jeremiah Talamantes's The Social Engineer's Playbook is a practical guide to pretexting, a form of social engineering.

It details information gathering methods, emphasizing online research and physical surveillance, and provides examples of real-world scenarios. Finally, the book offers a "playbook" of practical attack examples, demonstrating how to combine these techniques for effective social engineering, but stresses the importance of ethical considerations and legal compliance.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/cyber_security_summaryGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Social-Engineers-Playbook-Practical-Pretexting/dp/0692306617?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=cb2055911c7dd28db3ed134e601dd0ed&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlDiscover our free courses in tech and cybersecurity, Start learning today:https://linktr.ee/cybercode_academy
