Discussion

This week we will only have 1 topic. Please post 1 top level post and 2 responses to your classmates following the standard rubric. The top level post will count as both top level posts in the rubric, so make sure you put some thought into it. Remember that citations are critical and this topic should provide plenty of source material.

-For this week, we need to think like a hacker. Your goal is to explain HOW you would obtain as many user credentials as possible from UMES. Please do some research on the most successful social engineering attacks, and design your attack specifically to UMES. Be very thorough in your procedure, noting all details, since successful attacks consider all possibilities. This is a thought and research topic, please do not actually try to attack the campus with a social engineering attack. I don't need my job any harder!!

-For your responses, please analyze the attacks posted and contribute by noting any details that may have been overlooked and/or improving on the process. This is often how hacker communities operate, improving upon each others’ work.
