  1. Social Engineering Attack Framework SEAF

  2. What is SEAF / What is the Purpose of SEAF? • Social Engineering Attack Framework • Purpose: • Defines an attack framework that all SE attacks follow • Allows one to generate and plan SE attacks • Allows one to verify whether an attack was indeed an SE attack

  3. Identify the goal of the attack • What does the social engineer want?

  4. Identify potential sources • Which sources has the information that is needed to accomplish the goal?

  5. Assessment of sources • Investigate sources for useful things to aid in goal satisfaction

  6. Combination and analysis of sources • Develop pretext if required • Put source assessment findings together as prep to attack

  7. Development of an attack vector • Establish plan of attack and how information will be elicited.

  8. Establishment of communication • Initiation of communication • Email • One-to-one conversation • USB flashdrive

  9. Rapport building • Build relationship • Build trust

  10. Priming the target • Put target in the “correct” state of mind for the attack

  11. Elicitation • Retrieve required information bits from the target

  12. Maintenance • Perform measures to calm individual and to put him back into his normal state of mind

  13. Transition • One can choose to perform a transition to one of two states: • Transition to further development of an attack vector • Transition to goal satisfaction

  14. Goal satisfaction • In this state your initial goal has been satisfied and there is no intention to use the same target for information again
