Use the raw slides (pdf) before lecture to take notes, and refer to the annotated slides after lecture.

Summary

• We begin a new topic, social engineering attacks.
• These attacks rely on human vulnerabilities to break security, and thus are highly effective attacks which are difficult to defend against.
• In this part, we cover historical attacks and attack patterns.
• In the next lecture, we will explore one major source of these attacks: cognitive bias.
