There are so many factors (culture, age, gender, level of vigilance, when to choose…) will affect the realization of each Social Engineering action. Since information gathering is needed, why not classify the targets first to increase the success rate? When people get trained, how to accomplish social engineering once more? This is a discussion about how to bypass the human WAF according to different characteristics, as a complement to existing research.
