Have you ever wanted to be someone else? Imagine walking into a room of people and not be recognized for who you are, but who you’ve made yourself. Could you effectively just disappear? The success of a social engineer depends on their ability to blend into their target environment. In this discussion we’ll step into the world of disguise and learn some techniques of the gray men, Hollywood, and theatrical associations. Come have a look into the world of special effects where nothing is what it seems.
