“In everything, therefore, treat others the same way you want them to treat you.” The Golden Rule is the cornerstone principle for effective Social Engineering. But, what we do within the borders of that “manipulation,” through our skill and intention, is where the battleground of ethics emerges.īeyond that, we are here to discuss the practical concepts of how to social engineer effectively, so that we can get what we want and need, and so that we can provide others with what they want and need. And what is the alternative? To be silent and “absolve” oneself of being manipulative?Įven silence is manipulation - and arguably among the most powerful tools in social engineering.

This article will serve the purpose of demonstrating and exploring a little nugget that Chase shared in EBT. Origins represent the unified theme that underpins a person’s functions.Īnd remember, social engineering, at its root, is itself truly neutral and nothing more than purposeful and skillful social interaction. Cognitive Origins are a more fundamental form of unlocking someone than just targeting their Cognitive Functions. In light of launching the course, EgoHacking By Text (or EBT ), we are beginning to see the fringes of how foundational the Origins are when applied to social engineering. Whether you are searching for Justification, Intimacy, Satisfaction, Reverence, Authority, Validation, Discovery, or Purpose, the pathway of our intentions and behaviors leads back to one source: our Cognitive Origin. Each of us is hard-wired for the pursuit of our psychological needs and the realization of our deeper spiritual natures. “Ultimately, Social Engineering is proof that you care.” - Robert Potts
