Abstract

While social engineering represents a real and ominous threat to many organizations, companies, governments, and individuals, social networking sites (SNSs) have been identified as some of the most common means of social engineering attacks. Due to factors that reduce users' ability to detect social engineering tricks and increase attackers' ability to launch them, SNSs seem to be perfect breeding grounds for exploiting people's vulnerabilities and the weakest link in security. This work will contribute to the social engineering knowledge base by identifying different entities and sub-entities that affect social-engineering-based attacks in SNSs. Moreover, this paper includes an intensive and comprehensive overview of different aspects of social engineering threats in SNSs.
社交网站中的社会工程:基于影响的模型
虽然社会工程对许多组织、公司、政府和个人构成了真实而不祥的威胁,但社会网络站点(sns)已被确定为社会工程攻击的一些最常见手段。由于一些因素降低了用户检测社会工程技巧的能力,并增加了攻击者启动这些技巧的能力,社交网站似乎是利用人们漏洞的完美温床,也是安全中最薄弱的环节。这项工作将通过识别影响sns中基于社会工程的攻击的不同实体和子实体,为社会工程知识库做出贡献。此外,本文还对社交网络中的社会工程威胁的不同方面进行了深入而全面的概述。
