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 two (EDIT: up to three now) 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 (6 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 8 presentations in total (EDIT: due to many requests, we decided to go with up to three per seminar, so now it's 12) - first come, first served! Others would have to resort to other tasks to pass the course!
The Crooks
- Carlo Ponzi
 - Victor Lustig
 - Frank Abagnale Jr
 - Mark Abene (Phiber Optik)
 - Kevin Mitnick
 - Susan Headley (Suzy Thunder)
