Tailgating in social engineering is when an attacker gains unauthorized physical access to a building or secure area by closely following an authorized person. The attacker typically gains access by pretending to be an employee or a guest, often with the intent to steal information or assets. It is a form of physical security breach that exploits human behavior rather than technical vulnerabilities.
Phishing, where attackers use deceptive emails to trick someone into revealing sensitive information, and pretexting, where attackers manipulate individuals into providing confidential information by creating a false scenario.
Social engineering techniques include phishing, pretexting, baiting, and tailgating. These techniques are used to manipulate individuals into divulging confidential information or performing actions they normally wouldn't. "Denial of Service" attacks, however, do not involve deception or manipulation of individuals but rather target network resources to disrupt services or applications.
No, whaling refers to a type of phishing scam that targets high-profile individuals or organizations to steal sensitive information or money. It is a form of social engineering, but not all social engineering attacks are considered whaling.
Social engineering examples include phishing attacks, where individuals trick users into revealing sensitive information by posing as a trusted entity; pretexting, where attackers manipulate victims into divulging information by creating a false scenario; and tailgating, where unauthorized individuals gain physical access to secure locations by following an authorized person.
Some examples of jobs that may involve social engineering include penetration testers, security consultants, marketing professionals, salespeople, and fraud investigators. These roles often require individuals to leverage persuasive techniques to influence others and extract information.
