Show Notes

What is social engineering

Offsec is now sending out some people to do a series of speeches. Chris just did one in Alabama for the ISSA down there. The speech was called “How to Hack Companies and Make Millions.” If your organization is interested email Chris at chris -@- offsec.com

Chris’ Book, Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking is now for sale on Amazon. Thank you for all the support.

With that in mind we ran a contest to enter all people who retweeted our url in a drawing to win a free autographed copy of the book. Congrats to 41i3n as the winner of the RT SEBook contest.

Then we introduced personal interest of ours, our favorite band, Infected Mushroom. We can’t thank DuvDev enough for his time in coming on the show. Can’t wait to see you in NYC this month. What till you hear what they tell our fans FIRST… a new way to release music that is not even public yet!!

Our guest this month as mentioned is Robin Dreeke. Robin Dreeke, a 1992 graduate of the United States Naval Academy and former US Marine Corps Officer, has been studying interpersonal relations for the past 23 years of his government service. Through the use of non-verbal behavior; the Personal DISCernment Inventory, the Myers Briggs Type Indicator and personal anchoring, Robin has built highly effective tools for all aspects and stages of interpersonal communication. For the past thirteen+ years Robin has applied and taught his tools and techniques for the FBI as a member of the Counterintelligence Division’s elite Behavioral Analysis Program. Robin has combined all these tools and techniques and created a very unique, People Formula.

Today Robin is a recognized expert, author, and gifted lecturer, in the art of interpersonal communication. These skills are used every day in the areas of leadership, sales, human resources and all relationships both business and personal.
