  • THE COURSE IS NOT ACTIVE AT THE MOMENT. THE NEXT RUN WILL LIKELY TAKE PLACE IN SPRING 2025. THE INFORMATION HERE IS FROM THE LAST RUN IN SPRING 2024.


The idea

The Crook of the Week seminars are meant for student presentations/talks about famous social engineers of the past. Each seminar will host three 20-minute presentations by different students, plus discussion. The main points of the presentation are

  • to introduce the person (biography)
  • to explain the motivation behind his/her actions
  • to study the modus operandi (ways) of social engineering by this person
  • to outline the main human weaknesses the person exploited (cognitive biases, automatic thinking etc)
  • to summarize the main lesson the person teaches us

A successful presentation will result in passing the course if the attendance criteria (5 out of 8 lectures and seminars) is met. To register a presentation, please send an e-mail to Kaido, stating the chosen time and person to cover. There are only 12 presentations in total - first come, first served! Others would have to resort to other tasks to pass the course!
