Social Engineering: A Psychological need
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 7
Abstract
This paper discuses the overlooked aspects regarding the underlying psychology of social engineering. Social engineering is a technique to access or obtain the sensitive information. Social Engineer use social networking websites to prey for potential targets. Online social engineering attacks are usually variant of traditional information security hacking programs such as malware, worms etc. Here the social engineers exploit the trust factor among the victim to obtain the sensitive and valuable information. But here the researcher will discuss about the social networking website especially Facebook. Social Engineering done through the social networking websites have many psychological affects on the user. There are many links(advertisement) which manipulate the user and brings out curiosity in them so as they open them and give their personal and important information to have their result for their psychological satisfaction. The base of these links are through social engineering and these links are basically to find the users liking, disliking, choice, strength, weakness, future, experience, personality and personality comparison. So due to such curiosity generating points they get manipulated psychologically. So in this paper researcher will discuss about the psychological aspects thoroughly through “Maslow hierarchy of needs”.
