Leader said:I read the thread multiple times, and that explanation was not in the OP. Social engineering is still black-hat. That being said, Philly doesn't want black-hat activity on the site.
Living said:I know for a fact, Philly will never add this, waste of time.
Bit said:Then you didn't read the thread, you read the OP...
Did you even read the whole post I just made?
Leader said:When you say read the thread, that usually mean read the OP. I wouldn't expect for there to be more information in replies, when it could have been put in the OP.
And yes, I did read that whole post. Whatever your definition of social engineering may be, others may not agree with you. The social engineering section will be full of methods like the ones you described in the original post, no matter what.
Bit said:No it doesn't.
That's the definition of it, as determined by Chris Hadnagy. He wrote the book on it, he's a master of it. He's world famous. It's an amazing read, seriosuly check it out some time.
Social Engineering The Art of Human Hacking, it's 500 pages or so but well worth it.
Leader said:That may be the intelligent definition, yes. However, most users won't understand this. No matter what the definition, the subforum will be filled with free pizza methods, even if that's not what you think it's meant for. Plus, it's black-hat. For those two reasons, Philly will never allow it.
Bit said:Ok you clearly still only read the OP, because "Free pizza methods" are mentioned within the first 3 replies.
Are you serious?
Leader said:YOu obviously aren't understanding the point I'm trying to make.
Bit said:You obviously didn't read the thread.
End of discussion. Read the thread. Geeze...
Leader said:Don't tell me I didn't read the thread. Relax. Re-read my posts.
Color said:I'd like to see it, but I doubt it'll happen. Philly has been very against it I'm the past AMD for good reason. It can cause a lot of issues for the site.
Bit said:I'm not even going to repeat myself.
Bit said:Stop trying to troll, this is a suggestion thread meant to help better the forum, by not respecting that you're disrespecting all of FK, and Philly's efforts to make it a better place. Take your trolling into the proper section.
