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 up to four 15-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, either log in and write it to the schedule below by yourself, or send an e-mail to Kaido, stating the chosen time and person to cover. There are only 16 presentations in total - first come, first served! Others would have to resort to other tasks to pass the course!
