Análise prática e mitigação dos riscos da engenharia social na era digital

Abstract

This paper describes a simple conceptual and practical analysis of Social Engineering, from collecting information from a target to the use of intrusion testing tools. The paper develops simple concepts and practices and alerts users and companies to the dangers exposed on the internet, and helps in the protection of data security. In the pandemic period, there was a significant increase in scams carried out on the internet, and part of them involve Social Engineering. In this context, the theme is highly relevant in order to know the main techniques used by attackers and how to protect yourself. In this perspective, the focus of this work is to show a real and practical phishing attack in order to warn of the damage and dangers that can be caused.
