Matt Ford

In this Episode we chat to Richard De Vere, Head of Social Engineering at Ultima Business Solutions. We get a great insight into the art of Social Engineering, how he approaches various engagements from OSINT through to wearing the right colour tie, and delve into the mind games that can be played. We talk physical access, scoping the engagements, what works and what doesn't, and a great For SOC's sake at the end that I whole heartedly agree with.

Oh, and the Keylogger Man.

We also reference a Blog of Richards during the podcast, that you can find here: https://theantisocialengineer.com/2021/07/15/worlds-worst-phishing-campaign/
